We fumbled through the ashes of a half-lit flame
Words half-spoken slipping through the rain
A misstep, a detour, a stumble in the park
Thought we had it all but missed the mark
Oh, but time's a sly old thief, my dear It whispers truths we're too scared to hear
What's a false start if the heart still beats
We danced through the chaos, found our feet
A love gone wrong but it's never too late
A false start turned into something great
You slammed the door, I laughed through the ache
Played the fool, pretending it wasn't a mistake
The city hummed with songs we tried to ignore
But every winding street led back to your door
Oh, the timing was cruel, the night's too long
But the cracks in our hearts wrote the sweetest song
What's a false start if the heart still beats
We stumbled through the wreckage, found our feet
A love undone but it's never too late
A false start turned into something great
Now every scar's a story, every bruise a rhyme
We burned down the clocks, made our own time
No maps, no compass, just instinct and fate
A messy love that learned to wait
What's a false start if the fire still burns
We made our way back, took our turns
A love reborn and it's never too late
A false start turned into something great
And if we fall again, well that's alright
This love is a battle and we'll fight the fight
What's a false start when the heart still aches
We made a mess but we made it great
