Before We Let Go

(Opening: soft piano, distant strings, slow cinematic rise)

[Intro – Instrumental]
(A single piano motif, like a memory forming)

⸻

[Verse 1 – T]
Morning light on unfamiliar walls
We’re still learning how to fall
Your laugh fills up the empty space
Like this moment might be safe

I don’t know what tomorrow is
But right now your hand fits mine
Every love begins with faith
Before it learns the cost of time

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – T]
We don’t see the cracks just yet
We call them stars, we call them bets

⸻

[Chorus – T]
This is us before the leaving
Before the words we won’t defend
When love is easy, hearts are open
And forever feels like then
Hold this close, don’t rush the end
This is us before we let go

⸻

[Verse 2 – G]
I’ve been here before, I know the signs
How hope can blur the warning lines
Still I step into the flame
Just to feel something again

You look at me like I’m brand new
Like I don’t carry my past inside
If love is borrowed, let it be
The kind you don’t regret tonight

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – G]
Even scars begin as skin
Every story starts with “when”

⸻

[Chorus – G]
This is us before the silence
Before the doubt, before the fear
When touch is pure and words are fearless
And goodbye is nowhere near
Let me stay right here a while
This is us before we let go

⸻

[Bridge – Duet (gentle build)]
T:
Promise me we’ll try to stay
Even when it’s hard to say

G:
Promise me if love should change
We won’t disappear in pain

Together:
If this ends, let it be kind
Let it leave us still aligned
Let us say we truly tried
Before we ever say goodbye

(Strings swell — first real cinematic lift)

⸻

[Final Chorus – Both (hopeful, restrained)]
This is us before the breaking
Before the nights we lose our way
When love is louder than our doubts
And all we see is yesterday
If this is all we’re meant to know
Let it be beautiful and whole
This is us
Before we let go

⸻

[Outro – Instrumental → Whispered Line]
(Piano returns, soft strings)

G (soft):
Some loves are meant to teach us how

T (soft):
To hold… before we learn to let go

(Music fades into first scene)

Dark dance-pop, pulsing bass, cinematic/oscar ballad
