Where we Fell

[Intro (soft, reflective, slow tempo)]
(Piano and strings build gently)
We were pages left unwritten,
Dreams we never got to tell,
I still hear the echoes in the silence,
In the place where we fell...

[Verse 1 (tender, emotional)]
We lit the night with whispered promises,
Painted skies with fearless hands,
But somewhere between forever and tomorrow,
We forgot where we began...

[Pre-Chorus (Both; bittersweet harmony, slightly rising tempo)]
Now the stars don't sing the way they used to,
And the winds don't carry our names...

[Chorus (soaring, emotional)]
I still love you in the ruins,
I still ache for every dream...
We were golden, we were breaking,
We were more than what we seemed.
If goodbye was just a moment,
If forever’s just a spell,
I'd meet you in the ashes,
In the place where we fell...

[Verse 2 (more intense, vulnerable)]
I see your smile in strangers' faces,
Feel your touch in autumn rain,
Every memory’s a faded photograph,
Every heartbeat says your name...

[Verse 3 (breathy, sorrowful)]
I still dance with all your shadows,
Talk to ghosts that wear your eyes,
And I keep a little piece of you forever,
Tucked beneath these aching skies...

[Pre-Chorus (tender build again)]
Now the stars don't sing the way they used to,
And the winds don't carry our names...

[Chorus (Both; stronger, more desperate)]
I still love you in the ruins,
I still ache for every dream...
We were golden, we were breaking,
We were more than what we seemed.
If goodbye was just a moment,
If forever’s just a spell,
I'd meet you in the ashes,
In the place where we fell...

[Bridge (Both; whispered, intense, cinematic drop)]
I would hold you through the heartbreak,
I would love you through the end...
If we never find tomorrow...
Could we start again?

[Final Chorus (Both; soaring, full orchestration)]
I still love you in the ruins,
I still ache for every dream...
We were golden, we were breaking,
We were more than what we seemed.
If goodbye was just a moment,
If forever’s just a spell,
I'd meet you in the ashes,
In the place where we fell...

[Outro (soft, fading)]
In the place where we fell...

(Soft piano outro, strings fade into silence)
