Verse 1

Midnight calling, I don’t say your name

Static silence but we play the same game

You whisper “hello” like it’s just a mistake

But your voice hits harder than vows we can’t break

Pictures on your wall, I try not to see

Someone else holding what used to be me

I tell myself “stop,” but my chest disagrees

Every heartbeat’s spelling out please don’t leave

Pre-Chorus (rushed / racing thoughts)

Say it’s timing, say it’s fate, say it’s over, say it’s late

Say we crossed a line we drew but we drew it yesterday

Say we’re crazy, say we’re wrong, say we don’t belong this way

But if you hang up now I swear I’ll never breathe the same

Chorus

We’re fighting for each other in the wrong lives

Saying “don’t go” while we’re saying “goodnight”

Loving you in shadows, breaking daylight

We’re almost honest, but we’re too tied

I don’t wanna be your “what if” forever

Don’t wanna love you in pieces, in letters

If this is all we get, then why does it feel right?

Fighting for each other… in the wrong lives

Verse 2

Your ring hits the glass when you pour another drink

You say you’re “fine,” but you don’t even blink

I hear the pause when you mention his name

Like you’re trying real hard just to stay in your lane

I tell you “leave,” but I don’t mean a word

Every goodbye just gets harder to hurt

If we were strangers, maybe this wouldn’t burn

But we had forever before it was hers

Pre-Chorus (faster, unraveling)

Say it’s reckless, say it’s done, say we’re not the only ones

Say we’re damage, say we’re dust, say we’re chasing what was us

Say it louder, make it real, say it till I start to feel

Like I’m not about to lose the only thing that ever healed

Chorus

We’re fighting for each other in the wrong lives

Saying “don’t go” while we’re saying “goodnight”

Loving you in shadows, breaking daylight

We’re almost honest, but we’re too tied

I don’t wanna be your “what if” forever

Don’t wanna love you in pieces, in letters

If this is all we get, then why does it feel right?

Fighting for each other… in the wrong lives

Bridge (split emotion: one holding on, one letting go)

You:

I could leave it all tonight, just say the word and I’m yours

I’ve been living half a life, I can’t do this anymore

Her:

I found someone who stays, who doesn’t make me divide

I still love you the same… but I can’t ruin more lives

You (desperate overlap):

Don’t choose safety over us, don’t you dare call this enough

We were fire, we were real, don’t you numb the way you feel

Her (resigned):

We were everything once… now we’re something we conceal

Final Chorus (bigger, breaking)

We’re fighting for each other in the wrong lives

Screaming “hold on” while we’re losing the fight

Every “I love you” is a goodbye

Every wrong move still feels so right

I don’t wanna be your almost forever

Don’t wanna lose you to “maybe” and “never”

But if I let go, will you still be my light?

Or just the ghost that I chase every night?
