[Female Vocal]
[Pre-Intro]
We didn’t stop loving overnight
It slipped away one year at a time
We held on hard, we both tried
But love can leave without goodbye
[Intro]
Verse 1
We were young when we said “forever”
In a room full of family and friends
We thought love would hold us together
No matter how the story would bend
Years went by like a blink of an eye
Bills on the table, kids fast asleep
We stopped asking each other “why”
And started learning how not to speak
Verse 2
We used to talk all night in the kitchen
Now the silence sits in every chair
We tried to fix what was slowly missing
But the feeling just wasn’t there
It wasn’t fights or words too loud
Just space growing day by day
Two hearts in the same old house
Finding different ways to fade
[Bridge]
Two hearts
Two hearts in the same old house
Finding different ways to fade
[Chorus]
Chorus
We didn’t stop loving overnight
It slipped away one year at a time
We held on hard, we both tried
But love can leave without goodbye
We stayed for hope, we stayed for years
Through promises and quiet tears
Now I’m learning how to let you go
When the love we had just wasn’t home
just wasn’t home
just wasn’t home
[Verse]
I see our pictures on the wall
Smiling like we had it all
But smiles don’t tell the whole truth
About what time can do to you
We became strangers sharing space
Same last name, different worlds
Still caring, still afraid
Just no longer boy and girl
[Bridge]
Verse 4
I asked myself if I should stay
Just to keep the peace, not feel the pain
But staying empty felt worse somehow
Than walking out and starting now
It hurts to say it out loud
But I know it’s finally clear
We weren’t broken, we were tired
Of pretending love was still here
was still here
still here
[Verse]
Chorus
We didn’t stop loving overnight
It slipped away one year at a time
We held on hard, we both tried
But love can leave without goodbye
We stayed for hope, we stayed for years
Through promises and quiet tears
Now I’m learning how to let you go
When the love we had just wasn’t home
[Bridge]
I don’t hate you, I never could
You were my life, you meant the world
But sometimes love means walking away
So we can both breathe again
breeeeeeeeathe againnnnnnn
[Final Chorus]
We didn’t fail, we just outgrew
The people we once knew
I’ll always wish you well somehow
Even as I lay this ring down
This isn’t anger, this is truth
Two hearts that finally chose
To stop holding on to what was gone
And start healing on our own
[Outro]
After all these years of trying
I’m choosing peace over pretending
And though it hurts to say goodbye
This is how our story ends
This is how our stoooory endssssss
I miss you baaaabbbyyyyyyyy
