Prompt:

Write a heartfelt country duet about two ex-lovers who are trying to move on with other people, but still secretly miss each other. The lyrics should explore themes of regret, emotional distance, betrayal, and longing, with each verse alternating between the two voices. Use a symbolic object—like a photograph, letter, or old song—that keeps reminding them of the past. The chorus should reflect the pain of pretending to have moved on while still being emotionally tied. Aim for a melancholic tone, acoustic-driven, with raw, confessional lyrics and a bittersweet ending that leaves the door open for reconciliation.

Title: Still in the Frame
Tags: Country, Melancholy, Acoustic Guitar, Male and Female Duet

[Verse 1 - Mary]
I moved your picture to the drawer last week
But somehow it crawled back to my nightstand
He's sweet and kind, says all the right things
But he don’t know the way you held my hand

[Verse 2 - John]
I tore our letters into paper rain
Swore I'd forget your name by fall
She laughs like you did, soft in the rain
But her touch don't echo yours at all

[Chorus - Mary and John]
We're living lies with borrowed hearts
Smiles that never reach our eyes
We act like we’ve made brand new starts
But we’re haunted by goodbyes
Pretendin’ we’re fine, but it ain’t the same
‘Cause you're still in the frame

[Verse 3 - Mary]
He plays our song and I just nod along
But every note is a sharp regret
I fake a laugh, but inside I’m gone
You’re the one tune I can't forget

[Verse 4 - John]
She found that bracelet you gave me once
Asked who it was from, I said no one
But memories flood with every glance
And the truth burns brighter than the sun

[Chorus - Mary and John]
We're living lies with borrowed hearts
Smiles that never reach our eyes
We act like we’ve made brand new starts
But we’re haunted by goodbyes
Pretendin’ we’re fine, but it ain’t the same
‘Cause you're still in the frame

[Bridge - Mary]
Maybe one day we’ll stop pretending
Let go of pride and all the blame

[Bridge - John]
Maybe our story ain't done ending
And we'll find our way back through the pain

[Final Chorus - Mary and John]
We’re living lies with borrowed hearts
But the truth’s too strong to tame
I see you in my quiet parts
Still whispering my name
Pretendin’ we’re fine, but it’s all a game
‘Cause you're still... you're still in the frame

[Outro]
Still in the frame
