“City of Love and Chaos”
Bright lights, late nights, hills on the pavement
Read the lyrics
Bright lights, late nights, hills on the pavement
Dreams in a city that never stays patient
Four hearts run through the same story
Love feels like fame
Then it crashes without warning
We laugh, we cry, we fall apart
But somehow we survive the dark
In the city of love and chaos
We were breaking every rule
Every kiss felt like a promise
Every goodbye felt cruel
We were young, we were fearless
Now our stories that remain
In the city of love and chaos
We do it all again
Champagne tears on a rooftop skyline
One more chance, one more
Maybe this time
Hearts get lost
In the same old rhythm
Wrong ones leave but we never forget them
Carry rights what we can't say
Sun and the burns every rule away
Charlotte dreams of forever true
Miranda fights for something new
In the city of love and chaos
We were everything at once
Every high and every heartbreak
Every war we never won
Now the past is just a mirror
Of the life we try to chase
In the city of love and chaos
We found ourselves along the way
