Maybe The Last Time

We're standing in the quiet

Where the smoke begins to clear

Your voice is like a warning

Soft but sharp enough to hear

Our footprints in the ashes

Show the battles we've survived

But every time you look at me

I feel you choosing other sides

We're holding up our armor

But it's paper in the rain

You reach for me so gently—

Like you're scared to start again

This may be the last time we call this love a truce

The last time our bodies try to heal the damage we produce

If this war is ending, don't pretend it's still a fight—

'Cause maybe the last time is happening tonight

Your heartbeat sounds like footsteps

Walking further from the fire

We used to burn like cities

Now we flicker and we tire

You touch me like a memory

You're afraid you'll soon forget

Two soldiers in the half-light

Running out of what is left

We stand among the ruins

Both too quiet to confess

Sometimes losing someone slowly

Hurts you deeper than a death

This may be the last time we call this love a truce

The last time our bodies try to heal the damage we produce

If this war is ending, don't pretend it's still a fight

'Cause maybe the last time is happening tonight

Maybe we were warriors

Fighting shadows in our heads

Maybe every promise

Was another line we bled

If morning sends you marching

Far away from where I stand

I'll still hold the memory

Of your shaking, open hands

This may be the last time we lay our weapons down

The last time your heartbeat tries to drown the battle sound

If this is forever, let the moment feel divine

'Cause maybe the last time

Was always yours and mine
