[SIGNATURE INTRO — rain, piano motif] [MALE] Another night above the city, your window glowing through the rain. You don't know someone's watching over you. Maybe that's how it should remain. [FEMALE] Why does this night feel like I've stood here before? [VERSE 1] [MALE] I pass the places we once knew, the corner booth, the avenue. You look at me like we've never met, and I smile so you won't see regret. [FEMALE] There's something strange about your eyes, like half-remembered lullabies. I swear I've seen that smile somewhere, but when I reach, there's nothing there. [MALE] I know the way you hide your fear. [FEMALE] Then why do you know me better than you should? [MALE — whispered] Because once… I understood. [PRE-CHORUS] [MALE] Maybe underneath everything they took away, there's a feeling with no memory, a word you almost know to say. [FEMALE] When I hear your voice, something in me starts to ache. Like my heart remembers something my mind cannot explain. [BOTH] Maybe love can leave an echo even memory can't erase. [CHORUS] [MALE] You forgot my name, but I remember yours. You forgot our love, but I remember it all. [FEMALE] I don't know your name, so why does hearing you hurt? Why does standing here beside you feel like losing something first? [MALE] You don't have to love me. You don't have to know. [BOTH] Maybe loving someone sometimes means knowing when to let them go. [POST-CHORUS] [MALE] I remember… [FEMALE] I can almost… [BOTH] Remember it all. [VERSE 2] [MALE] They know the mask. They know the name. They see me falling through the flames. They see the hero cross the sky, but never see the boy behind. [FEMALE] Every time that hero falls, I don't know why I stop at all. I watch the skyline, hold my breath, like somehow I know what happens next. [MALE] I've held up trains. I've stopped the fall. I've answered strangers when they called. But standing here outside your door, I've never felt this powerless before. [FEMALE] Then why does losing you feel like something I've survived before? [PRE-CHORUS II] [MALE] I could tell you everything, show you who we were, put every photograph between us, say the words you never heard. [FEMALE] Would I remember your face? [MALE] Maybe. But I'd rather lose my place inside your heart than put you back in danger just to heal mine. [FEMALE] You'd walk away? [MALE] Every time. [CHORUS II] [MALE] You forgot my name, but I remember yours. You forgot our love, but I remember it all. [FEMALE] I don't know your story, but something in me knows. Every time you turn to leave, a part of me says: Don't go. [MALE] You don't have to love me. You don't have to know. [BOTH] Maybe hearts remember what the mind will never know. [BRIDGE — piano only] [MALE] I'll keep the photograph somewhere no one else can see. Two people smiling at a life that only lives inside of me. [FEMALE] Sometimes I dream of someone standing underneath the rain. I never see his face, but I wake up calling out a name. [MALE] What name? [FEMALE] I don't know. [MALE] I hope someone makes you laugh, learns your coffee, knows when you're pretending you're okay. [FEMALE] Why are you saying goodbye like you've already lost me? [MALE] Because I did. [SHORT SILENCE] [MALE] I'd lose you again if losing me gave you tomorrow. [FEMALE] Why does that sound like something you'd already done? [FINAL BUILD] [MALE] Even if you never remember… I will. [FEMALE] Then why does my heart still remember you? [FINAL CHORUS — FULL CINEMATIC CLIMAX] [MALE] You forgot my name— [FEMALE] But something remains— [MALE] I remember yours— [FEMALE] Like a voice in the rain— [BOTH] Maybe love doesn't disappear just because memories change. [MALE] Every scar, every promise, every night beneath these stars— [FEMALE] Maybe I don't know our story, but somehow I know your heart. [MALE] If saving you meant losing you, I'd lose you every time. [FEMALE] If loving you means trusting what I cannot explain tonight— [BOTH] Then maybe underneath it all we never said goodbye. [MALE] I'd choose the empty photographs. I'd choose the sleepless nights. I'd choose to be a stranger if it means you're still alive. [FEMALE] I forgot the boy who loved me. I forgot the life we made. But every time I see that mask… why do I feel safe? [MALE] MJ… [FEMALE] How do you know my— [MUSIC CUT] [MALE — whisper] Because it was me. [FEMALE — trembling] Peter…? [MALE] You remembered. [FEMALE] No… I just… knew. [OUTRO — violin, rain] [BOTH] Maybe hearts remember what the world makes us forget. [MALE] Goodnight, MJ. [FEMALE] Goodnight… Peter..
