The clock strikes twelve, the city's asleep
But I'm wide awake, the secrets I keep
It started with a call, her voice shaking fast
"Meet me by the bridge, we can't let this last"
I grabbed my keys, the rain hit the ground
The streets were empty, no one around
My mind was racing, what could it be
Her words felt heavy, like gravity
She said, "Pack your bags, we're running tonight
No looking back, no wrong, no right"
The lights in the distance, they fade and grow
Her shadow appears, and I just know
We're running from the past, the pain, the lies
Underneath the stars, beneath the skies
We'll leave it all behind, no fear, no shame
Chasing freedom, through the flames
She climbed in the car, her face pale as ice
Tears in her eyes, "I paid the price"
Blood on her hands, a tremble in mine
"Tell me what happened, we're out of time"
She said, "He found me, I couldn't stay
His fists spoke louder than words could say
This wasn't the first, but tonight's the last
I grabbed the knife, and then I dashed"
My heart stopped cold, but I turned the key
"We'll figure it out, just stay with me"
The sirens are screaming, they're closing in
But I won't let the darkness win
We're running from the past, the pain, the lies
Underneath the stars, beneath the skies
We'll leave it all behind, no fear, no shame
Chasing freedom, through the flames
The roads get darker, the air feels thin
Her voice breaks softly, "What if we can't win"
I said, "We'll find a place where no one knows
Where the hurt can't reach, where love can grow"
She held my hand, the fear still there
But in her eyes, a spark of care
We're running from the past, the pain, the lies
Underneath the stars, beneath the skies
We'll leave it all behind, no fear, no shame
Chasing freedom, through the flames
The clock strikes one, the road unwinds
Two broken souls, one love to find
