About

This song tells a heartfelt story of forbidden love — two souls who find each other too late, bound by vows they cannot break. With tender verses and an aching chorus, it paints the picture of secret meetings, hidden letters, and the heavy weight of wedding rings that keep them apart. It’s a ballad of longing, regret, and the fire of passion that refuses to fade, even when love must remain a secret."

Lyrics

Instrumental

Verse 1

Sun peekin' through the window, alarm clock left behind

Coffee in a thermos, let’s see what we can find

Your laughter in the breeze, spinning round so free

Every turn on this gravel path, it’s just you and me

Pre-Chorus

Hearts in the moment, rolling out of sight

I reach for your hand, and the future feels bright

Chorus

We were strangers with a secret, hearts we couldn't share

Two rings shining, heavy on our hands

Love found us tangled in a promise and a prayer

And to let go was something we could barely stand

Post-Chorus

Oh, how we tried

But the fire won't die

Verse 2

Coffee in a corner booth, laughing soft and low

Talking like old friends, keeping voices down

Letters hidden in a drawer, memories that grow

In a world of can'ts and shouldn'ts, love is never found

Pre-Chorus

How do you turn away from arms that feel like home

When duty calls your name at night and leaves your heart alone

Chorus

We were strangers with a secret, hearts we couldn't share

Two rings shining, heavy on our hands

Love found us tangled in a promise and a prayer

And to let go was something we could barely stand

Post-Chorus

Oh, how we tried

But the fire won't die
