Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Soft rain on steel Your name on my tongue A ghost in the armor Where our love once clung [Verse 1] You traced a heart on my old leather bracer Swore you would fight every battle beside me Now that same hand is a shadow in daylight Reaching through memories that slice me I kept your ring on a chain like a standard Holding it high over ruins and ashes Every victory just echoes your absence Every cheer cuts deep and then passes [Chorus] Love hurts Like armor over bleeding skin Every step It cuts again Love burns A candle in a shattered shrine I am yours and you’re not mine Love hurts Love hurts [Verse 2] You sing my name in the dark of the chapel Your voice like glass in the throats of the choir You light a flame for the vows that we fractured Praying to bury this tired desire You read my letters with trembling fingers Smudged ink and salt on the pages you’re holding Every “forever” we carved into margins Crumbles to dust in the silence unfolding [Chorus] Love hurts Like armor over bleeding skin Every step It cuts again Love burns A candle in a shattered shrine I am yours and you’re not mine Love hurts Love hurts [Bridge] [Tempo drops Strings and harp swell] [Male] If I had one more dawn with you (just one) I’d trade my glory Lay down my pride [Female] If I could reach across this distance I’d tear the stars from the grieving sky [Both] We were a promise on trembling lips We were a prayer the heavens missed Now every heartbeat Every word Is just a blade And it still hurts [Chorus] Love hurts Like armor over bleeding skin Every step It cuts again Love burns A candle in a shattered shrine I am yours and you’re not mine Love hurts Love hurts [Outro] [Choir swells Then fades] Two rings on a chain Two candles that died One story in ruins Two souls that still cry
