Country Song 10 – We Didn’t Break, We Cracked

 [Verse 1 – Male]
It wasn’t one fight that tore us down
No slammed doors, no screaming sound
Just skipped dinners, eyes to the floor
And little things we don’t say anymore

[Verse 2 – Female]
We left our love out in the rain
Watched it fade like windowpane
You held the silence, I held my breath
We made a home that felt like death

[Chorus – Duet, Light Harmony]
 We didn’t break, we cracked
Bit by bit, no turning back
It wasn’t fire, it wasn’t ice
Just time and space and sacrifice
We drifted slow, we lost the track
We didn’t break… we cracked

[Verse 3 – Male]
There was no storm, just shifting air
No final blow—just no one there
I saw the distance in your stare
But I still slept in that same chair

[Verse 4 – Female]
We laughed less and talked in chores
Made love like strangers keeping score
I cried for us, but not out loud
You never asked, and I forgot how

[Chorus – Duet Full Harmony]
We didn’t break, we cracked
Like old wood worn down by the past
No one cheated, no one lied
We just forgot how to fight
We turned from gold to shades of black
We didn’t break… we cracked

[Bridge – Male then Female]
 Maybe love don’t end in fire
Maybe it just expires…

[Final Chorus – Soft, Sparse Instrumentation]
 We didn’t break, we cracked
Slipped through hands we never clasped
No bitter words, no bitter end
Just strangers who forgot they were friends
No fixing now, no looking back
 We didn’t break… we cracked
