Lyrics

I still see you in the mirror, brushing back your hair
Coffee on the counter, sunlight in the air
Every little moment, etched into my skin
But I blinked, and it was gone again
[Verse 2 – Gentle Strings Begin]

You said love was just a whisper, but I heard a choir
You held my hand like it held the fire
And I believed in always, I believed in us
But forever wasn’t long enough
[Chorus – Add Bass + Organ]

🎶 And I’d give it all, to hold you tonight
To rewind the years, and make it all right
You were the heart, you were the truth
Now I’m just a man with too much to lose
No, forever... wasn’t long enough
[Verse 3 – Rock Band Enters, Southern Slide Guitar]

You packed your bags, but left your soul
In the cracks of this old wooden floor
I scream at the sky, but it don’t reply
Only echoes of your goodbye
[Bridge – Full Rock Power]

Tears in my whiskey, thunder in my chest
I’d trade heaven’s gates just to feel your breath
Every love song just cuts too deep
'Cause the one I want... I can’t keep
[Final Chorus – Full Band + Orchestral Rise]

🎶 And I’d give it all, to hold you again
To take back the hurt, rewrite how it ends
You were the one, my blood, my flame
Now this house just don’t feel the same
Forever... wasn’t long enough

🎶 Oh forever... (strings swell)
🎶 No forever... (drums roll, brass rises)
🎶 Wasn’t long... enough...
[Outro – Symphony Only, No Words]

(Violin melody repeats main hook over emotional chords, ending with soft timpani and a piano note fading into silence)
