Cold night, leaning on the iron frame,
Same spot where you whispered my name.
City buzz underneath my feet,
But this old fire escape’s got a heartbeat.
Your jacket’s still hanging on the second bar—
Feels close, but you’re so damn far.
I swore I wouldn’t climb back here again…
But heartbreak loves familiar ends.

And I know I should let this go,
But every step pulls me back like a memory in the smoke.

This fire escape heartbreak—
Got me tangled in the afterglow.
All the promises we couldn’t make
Still echo in the metal and the cold.
Yeah, the skyline says move on,
But my chest says “not tonight.”
Fire escape heartbreak—
Got me hanging on the edge of goodbye.

Your laugh floats down from apartment four,
Like you left it carved in the fire door.
I trace the rails like they’re your skin,
Every rusted line pulls me back in.
Tried running, but the truth hits fast—
Some places weren’t built to last.
Still, I’m standing where the pieces fell,
Counting every reason I loved you well.

And I swore I was stronger now,
But this staircase knows the things I never say out loud.

This fire escape heartbreak—
Got me tangled in the afterglow.
All the promises we couldn’t make
Still echo in the metal and the cold.
Yeah, the skyline says move on,
But my chest says “not tonight.”
Fire escape heartbreak—
Got me hanging on the edge of goodbye.

Maybe I’ll climb down someday clean,
Shake off everything we used to mean.
But tonight the city holds me tight—
And you’re the shadow in the streetlight.

This fire escape heartbreak—
Still sparks when the memories hit.
I keep trying to walk away,
But my heart ain’t having it.
Yeah, the skyline says be strong,
But my pulse says “one more night.”
Fire escape heartbreak—
Got me hanging on the edge of goodbye…
One last time.

Fire escape heartbreak…
Still holding on.
