[Verse] In the corner of this dim-lit bar, Your smile flickers like a fading star. We danced on words that didn't stick, A broken script, a comedy so quick. [Pre-Chorus] But when you tried to hold my hand, I slipped away like grains of sand. [Chorus] Laughter echoes in the silence, Our love was just a sweet defiance. Falling fast, then falling through, I’m still laughing, darling, without you. [Verse] The night is thick with smoky haze, Your eyes are lost in a smoky maze. We played the game, we lost the score, I’m standing here outside your door. [Pre-Chorus] And though your charm tried to persuade, I found my peace in this charade. [Chorus] Laughter echoes in the silence, Our love was just a sweet defiance. Falling fast, then falling through, I’m still laughing, darling, without you. [Bridge] Oh, don’t look back, it’s just a dark refrain, A melody that never found its way. In the ashes of a love we knew, The laughter’s all I have of you. [Chorus] Laughter echoes in the silence, Our love was just a sweet defiance. Falling fast, then falling through, I’m still laughing, darling, without you. [Outro] Still laughing, darling, without you... The night’s alive with what we never knew.
