[INTRO]
I ain’t asking for a second chance, I ain’t trying to change your mind
I just can’t help but sit here wondering how the hell we fell behind
We had thunder in our veins, we had fate in every touch
So why the hell did love decide we were never gonna be enough?

[VERSE 1]
I still remember headlights on your skin, backroads and soft confessions
Midnight air felt like forever, now forever feels like a lesson
You said I was your safe place, I said you were my home
Then somehow all that gold turned cold, now I'm lost here on my own

[PRE-CHORUS]
Maybe we burned too bright too fast
Maybe timing just betrayed us
But God, it kills to know I’d give it all
If fate just stayed and saved us

[CHORUS]
WHY COULDN’T IT HAVE JUST WORKED BETWEEN US?
WHY’D WE HAVE TO FALL APART THIS WAY?
WHY DID SOMETHING BUILT SO DAMN UNBREAKABLE
TURN TO DUST INSIDE A DAY?
WE HAD FOREVER IN OUR REARVIEW
BUT IT VANISHED IN THE rush
WHY COULDN’T IT HAVE JUST, JUST, FUCKING WORKED BETWEEN US?

[VERSE 2]
I still reach for you in dreams, like my hands ain’t learned the truth
Still flinch at every love song, like the world’s repeating you
Friends keep saying “time will fix it”, but time just makes it clear
Nothing’s broken like the kind of love that almost lasted years

[PRE-BRIDGE]
I ain’t mad that you let go
I ain’t even asking why
I just hate that we were perfect
At the wrong damn place in time

[BRIDGE]
Baby, was I really not enough?
Or were we everything, just too much?
’Cause I swear the way you once looked at me
Still burns louder than the end of us

[FINAL CHORUS]
WHY COULDN’T IT HAVE JUST WORKED BETWEEN US?
WHY’D THE RIGHT LOVE COME AT THE WRONG TIME?
I WOULD’VE BUILT THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD AROUND YOU,
IF FOREVER DIDN’T FUCKING LIE
NOW I’M SITTING IN THE AFTERMATH
OF THE BEST THING I EVER TRUST
ASKING GOD, SCREAMING GOD,
WHY COULDN’T IT JUST HAVE WORKED BETWEEN US?

[OUTRO]
I guess some miracles are meant to break
Just to prove how real they were
But baby, if there’s a world where we made it...
I hope we made it there, together.
