[Intro]
Static hum on a late-night line,
Streetlights flicker in borrowed time,
Your shadow dances on broken glass,
We said forever, it couldn't last.

[Verse 1]
You wore silence like a second skin,
Spoke in echoes I felt within,
Every word was a loaded spark,
Burning slow in the city dark.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I tried to read your eyes,
Like a map I couldn't find,
Every road just led me back,
To the ghost you left behind.

[Chorus]
We were cigarettes beneath a northern sky,
Burning bright just to fade, no reason why,
Every breath was a promise we denied,
Now it's smoke, drifting off with the night.

[Verse 2]
Rain taps rhythms on hollow dreams,
Neon tears in the midnight streams,
You said love was a fleeting sound,
Just a note that won't stay around.

[Bridge]
If I scream, will you hear me now?
Through the static, through the crowd,
Or am I just another line,
In a song you left behind?

[Final Chorus]
We were cigarettes beneath a northern sky,
Ashes falling as the years go by,
Every spark was a truth we couldn't hide,
Now it's gone, like the last goodbye.

[Outro]
Fading chords in the pale moonlight,
You and me in the after-night.
