Lyrics
šµ Love Donāt Always Last
Mersey Pop Groove] [Bopping Beat] [Jangly Guitar] [Dreamy Pads] [808 + Hofner Bass Blend] [Trap Hi-Hats + Live Kit
š¶ Verse 1
| [G] | [D] | [Em] | [C] |
We were fireworks in the midnight sky
| [G] | [D] | [Em] | [C] |
Burned so bright we forgot the goodbye
| [Am] | [D] | [G] | [G] |
Every laugh, every fight ā a ride so wild
| [Am] | [D] | [G] | |
But the spark faded slow, we just denied
Layered background āahhhā harmonies
Retro synth pad gently swelling
š¶ Pre-Chorus
| [C] | [D] | [Em] | [G] |
I still replay all the nights we danced
| [C] | [D] | [Em] | [D] |
Didnāt see it slipping through our hands
š¶ Chorus (BOPPIN' DROP)
| [G] | [D] | [Em] | [C] |
Love donāt always last ā but we gave it heart
| [G] | [D] | [Em] | [C] |
Held on too fast ā then fell apart
| [Am] | [D] | [G] | [G] |
I still smile at what we had
| [Am] | [D] | [G] | |
Even if it didnāt make it last
Catchy hook: āDonāt mean it wasnāt realā ā call & response harmonies
Side-chained synth pad swell + kick drum drops in BIG
š¶ Verse 2
| [G] | [D] | [Em] | [C] |
We were golden in a tinted frame
| [G] | [D] | [Em] | [C] |
Time donāt always play the same game
| [Am] | [D] | [G] | [G] |
Maybe loveās not built to stay
| [Am] | [D] | [G] | |
But I wouldnāt trade a single day
š¶ Bridge
| [Em] | [C] | [G] | [D] |
Ooh, some things break just to be free
| [Em] | [C] | [Am] | [D] |
But you still meant the world to me
Whimsical key change tease here or synth drop
š¶ Final Chorus
| [G] | [D] | [Em] | [C] |
Love donāt always last ā thatās still okay
| [G] | [D] | [Em] | [C] |
Some things just arenāt meant to stay
| [Am] | [D] | [G] | [G] |
But you were fire in my past
| [Am] | [D] | [G] | |
And Iāll always hold it fast
BIG DROP: vocal chop āLove donāt lastā¦ā looping
Fade out with arpeggiated synth + soft guitar riff
