[Intro]
I didn’t always notice when it changed…
until it was already gone
[Verse 1]
we used to talk like it was nothing
same jokes, same space, same something
didn’t think it would ever fade
just assumed it would always stay
you knew me in a simple way
part of my world in everyday
not perfect, not always deep
just someone I used to keep
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that was enough…
but people still leave
[Chorus]
friends I’ve lost, I still remember
names that fade but don’t go under
not all endings come with pain
some just quietly change
friends I’ve lost, I still see you
in moments I don’t know what to do
you don’t stay, but you don’t erase
you just slip into another place
[Verse 2]
some left slow, some left fast
some became a part of the past
no big fight, no final line
just less and less over time
I still think about the ones
who were there when I was young
or when everything felt too much
and they made it feel less tough
[Pre-Chorus]
not everyone is meant to stay…
but it still hurts anyway
[Chorus]
friends I’ve lost, I still remember
like echoes I can’t surrender
not all endings feel like loss
but I still feel what it cost
friends I’ve lost, you’re still there
in quiet thoughts I never share
you don’t stay, but you don’t leave
not fully gone from me
[Bridge]
maybe that’s just how it goes
people come and people go
but I didn’t know it would feel like this
a list of names I still miss
[Chorus]
friends I’ve lost, I don’t forget
even when I don’t admit it yet
some were small, some meant more
some I still look for
friends I’ve lost, I still care
even if you’re not there
not everything is meant to last
but it still lives in my past
[Outro]
I don’t lose people all at once…
I lose them in pieces
