Lyrics:
Intro:
The sky was black the night you died
But I swore I’d keep the stars alight
The clocks all stopped but I kept time
Counting down in the ruins of our last goodnight
Verse:
There’s dust where the roses used to bloom
A faded dress still hanging in your room
The air still tastes like your perfume
And I breathe it like a prayer I can’t undo
I walk these halls like I’m the ghost
Of the one you loved or needed most
And every mirror shows me less
Of the life we left behind in your last breath
Chorus:
But I said I’d love you past the end
Past the silence, past the bend—
Where the world lets go but I still descend
The light is gone, the dark surrounds
But I’m still here, I’m still counting down
The last candle still burns in the ruin of my soul
Verse:
I kept your voice inside a song
It plays each night when the nights grow long
I built a shrine from broken clocks
Every tick another stone in a love gone wrong
The thunder speaks your name in code
The lightning writes it on the road
But I just drive through storms and dust
Searching for a shadow I can’t trust
Chorus:
And I said I’d love you past the end
Through the fallout, through the bend—
Where the saints forget and the angels won’t defend
The stars burn out, the skies turn brown
But I’m still here, I’m still counting down
The last flame still burns in a temple made of pain
Instrumental Interlude:
I’m still counting…
Past the end…
I swore I’d love you…
I still do…
Bridge:
You asked me once to let you go
To set you free, to walk alone
But I was never built to break
And I could never leave your name in stone
I talk to walls that whisper back
I sleep beside the dreams I lack
You told me not to lose myself
But what’s a soul when half is ash?
Chorus:
I said I’d love you past the end
Through the sorrow time won’t mend
Through every hour that refused to bend
The clocks are silent but I hear the sound
Of a vow still burning, counting down
The last candle still burns and I can’t let go
Bridge:
Past the end…
I’m still counting…
Forever means forever…
You never really left…
Final Verse:
I sleep beside your empty dress
I kiss the air and hope for less
But every night I still confess—
I loved you more than life, no more, no less
Final Chorus:
I said I’d love you past the end
And I meant every shattered, twisted bend
If death’s the door, then love’s the key—
I’ll burn alone for eternity
The last candle still burns and I’m still counting down
Outro:
I said I’d love you past the end
And I’m still here…
Still counting…
