What we couldve been

We started with some after-school talks,

laughing loud, trying not to fall

I was there on your birthday night,

candles burning, we had it all

Late-night drives, windows down,

talked too deep to just be friends

Somewhere in between the lines,

I thought this wasn’t how it ends

You were the name I’d call out first

When the days were getting worse

So don’t tell me it was nothing then

It felt like more back then

You were never just a moment to me,

you were the reason I believed

Now I’m stuck in the silence you left,

trying to breathe in the wreck

If I mattered half as much as you did to me,

you wouldn’t leave so easily

So tell me how you walk away

From something that felt this real to me

We met up outside those school walls,

shared our fears, shared our scars

You knew things nobody knew,

you saw me for who I am

I replay every word you said,

looking for a warning sign

But nothing broke, nothing burned,

you just disappeared from my life

I searched myself for what went wrong,

every step, every song

But there was no goodbye to hear,

just your absence screaming loud and clear

You were never just a moment to me,

you were the reason I believed

Now I’m stuck in the silence you left,

trying to breathe in the wreck

If I mattered half as much as you did to me,

you wouldn’t leave so easily

So tell me how you walk away

From something that felt this real to me

Was it fear or bad timing?

Did you run when it got real?

I would’ve stayed through the hard nights

If you’d just told me how you feel

You were never just a moment to me,

you were a part of my heartbeat

Now I’m standing in the aftermath,

trying to move on from that

If I mattered half as much as you did to me,

you wouldn’t leave so easily

You walked away without a sound,

but I still hear you now

You were never just a moment to me

You were everything to me
