[Intro]
[Clean guitar, slow strum]
[Verse 1]
We were kings of an empty street
Laughing like we’d never leave
Your name still carved in the wall
Like we thought this would last forever
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how the silence stays
When everything else walks away
[Chorus]
That was the night we grew up
When “forever” wasn’t enough
We lost more than we could say
But we learned how pain can stay
I still hear you in my head
Every word we never said
That was the night we grew up
And nothing felt the same
[Verse 2]
Your jacket’s still behind my door
Smells like summer, nothing more
Everyone says “you’ll be fine”
But they weren’t there that night
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to sleep, I tried to lie
Pretend I’m not asking why
[Chorus]
That was the night we grew up
When “forever” wasn’t enough
We lost more than we could say
But we learned how pain can stay
I still hear you in my head
Every word we never said
That was the night we grew up
And nothing felt the same
[Bridge]
Maybe we were just too young
To know how fast it all could run
If I’d known that was goodbye
I would’ve stayed, I would’ve tried
[Break – Quiet]
I would’ve tried… (tried)
[Final Chorus – Full Band]
That was the night we grew up
When the world hit way too rough
We lost more than we could save
Still we carry every name
I still feel you when I fall
Like you’re waiting when I call
That was the night we grew up
And nothing felt the same
[Outro]
[Clean guitar fading]
