April to May

Verse 1
April’s tears fell cold on my skin,
We whispered dreams where the storms rolled in.
You held me close when the thunder roared—
A love like lightning, raw and poured.
Your voice cracked, “Don’t let go…”
In that downpour, I finally know—

Chorus
Oh, April’s ache, May’s wild embrace—
You’re the bloom that shattered the night I couldn’t face.
Through the flood, we bled our fears,
Now your laughter’s the sun through all my years.
New beginnings? No—second chance,
You’re the hurricane that healed my half-drowned heart’s dance.

Verse 2
Sun broke through the gray like your stubborn smile,
Turned every scar to a petal’s fragile trial.
Your hands still tremble when you say my name—
May’s alive, and love’s no longer chains.

Bridge
Every storm we survived gave these flowers their veins,
Your tears water the ground where forever remains…

Outro
So let May’s wind burn the old maps,
We’re the phoenix, the flood, the love that collapses traps.
(Repeat chorus, raw harmony swell)

Haunting pedal steel, vocals cracking on “second chance,” layered harmonies like a storm’s aftershock.

Post-Chorus Whisper
(Soft, trembling)
“April’s broken glass… May’s old porch swing…
Your heartbeat’s the proof that spring can fix anything.”
