[Intro]
Clock hands trem[Intro - Sound FX & Melancholic Piano]
(TV Static Noise, Tape Rewind Effect, transitioning into a slow, whisper-quiet sad piano intro)
[Verse 1 - Male - Very Low Volume, Whispering & Sad]
I was your anchor, your shelter in the storm,
Guided your steps since the day you were born.
Years of your drama, I bore it with grace,
Until I saw the screens... and your hidden face.
You wept and you begged, "Don't leave me behind,"
Because a man of my honor is impossible to find.
[Pre-Chorus - Transition - Music gets even quieter]
Then came the surgery... the blade cut my skin,
Fighting for breath whible, morning replays the night
Two voices fade and fuse in silver light
[Verse 1]
We say the same lines, but fear wears different eyes
You plead for mercy, I count the alibis
Every hello repeats, every goodbye pretends
We’re stuck in a loop where the old pain never ends
[Chorus]
If I love you, I love the history we bend
If I trust you, I trust the echo that won’t end
Round and round the same tidal wave of fate
We bite the forbidden fruit we both already ate
[Verse 2]
You whisper promises that crumble into ash
I trace your breath and watch the hours clash
The future coughs up names we used to choose
Then vanishes again, leaving us with yesterday’s blues
[Chorus]
If I love you, I love the history we bend
If I trust you, I trust the echo that won’t end
Round and round the same tidal wave of fate
We bite the forbidden fruit we both already ate
[Bridge]
A crack across the mirror splits the air
We glimpse a doorway we’re forbidden to share
The clock shatters, but no minute can escape
We see, at last, the hinge of our escape—too late
[Chorus]
If I love you, I love the history we bend
If I trust you, I trust the echo that won’t end
Round and round the same tidal wave of fate
We bite the forbidden fruit we both already ate
[Outro]
The loop collapses in a flash, the room explodes in light
We wake to silence, knowing we were always bound to ignite
