YOU THOUGHT WE’D BREAK

Songtext

[Intro – Guitar + Drums] (Punchy distorted guitar riff. Tight 80s rock drums kick in. Bass drives underneath. Short piano hits build tension. No slow build.) Male: You looked me in the eye… Said, “I’ve got your back.” Never thought the one I trusted Would be the one to crack. [Verse 1 – Male] We built this life with our own two hands, Every sacrifice, every broken plan. Through the good and bad, we stood our ground, Never thought betrayal would come around. You walked through the door like you belonged, While hiding the truth all along. We gave you our trust, we gave you our faith, You took everything and threw it away. [Pre-Chorus – Female] Can we ever trust again? Can these broken hearts be healed? After everything you’ve taken, Tell me what was ever real? [Chorus – Male + Female] You thought we’d break, You thought we’d fall, You thought you could take it all. You tried to tear our world apart, But you couldn’t take our hearts. No more lies, No more fear, No more letting you back in here. You thought we’d break, But you were wrong— We’re still standing, Still holding on. [Verse 2 – Male] We never saw the knife behind your smile, Never knew the truth was hidden all the while. Lies came through the door, drugs followed close, You brought a kind of pain we never chose. You took what we built and left it in the dark, Thought you’d leave us broken, scattered in the sparks. But every scar became a reason to fight, And every tear helped us see the light. [Pre-Chorus – Female] How do you heal when trust is gone? How do you know what’s right or wrong? You broke the world we thought we knew, But you never broke what held us through. [Chorus – Male + Female] You thought we’d break, You thought we’d fall, You thought you could take it all. You tried to tear our world apart, But you couldn’t take our hearts. No more lies, No more fear, No more letting you back in here. You thought we’d break, But you were wrong— We’re still standing, Still holding on. [Bridge – Female] You took our trust… You took our peace… But you couldn’t take our strength. [Male] You thought we’d disappear, Thought we’d never rise again. But we’re still here— And we’re stronger than we’ve ever been. [Guitar Break – 8 bars] (Short, gritty melodic guitar solo. No extended rock solo. Drums stay driving.) [Final Chorus – Full Band] You thought we’d break, You thought we’d fall, You thought you could take it all. You tried to tear our world apart, But you couldn’t take our hearts. No more lies, No more fear, No more letting you back in here. You thought we’d break, But you were wrong— We’re still standing, Still holding on. [Final Outro – Male + Female] Male: You took your shot… Female: But we survived. Male: You thought we’d break… Both: But we’re still alive. Male: You don’t belong here anymore. Both: We’re still standing strong. (Final guitar hit + drums stop.)
