We never really ended

It didn’t break, it just grew quiet

Like a fire losing flame

No slammed doors, no final words

Just space where you once stayed

We said it’s better this way

Like we both believed the lie

But love was still in the room

When we said goodbye

Pre-Chorus

We didn’t fall apart

We just let go too soon

Now I carry half of you

In everything I do

Chorus

’Cause we never really ended

We just stopped trying to hold

All the pieces we were building

When our hands got cold

And I still feel you in the silence

In the nights I can’t pretend

It’s hard to move on from something

That never really ended

Verse 2

I don’t talk about you much now

But you live between my ribs

In the pauses of my sentences

In the songs I never finish

I’ve met someone who makes me laugh

But it’s not the same kind of spark

It’s hard to light a brand new fire

When you’re still guarding old embers in the dark

Bridge (veldig naken, nesten bare gitar og stemme)

If I saw you on the street

Would we smile like we’re okay?

Or would the truth come rushing back

In everything we wouldn’t say?

Sometimes I think you feel it too

But we’re too proud to call

So we let it be unfinished

And pretend that’s not a fall

Final Chorus (litt større, men fortsatt sår)

’Cause we never really ended

We just learned how not to speak

About the way our hearts still bend

Every time we meet

And maybe someday I’ll let you go

In the way I should have then

But tonight I’ll just admit it —

We never really ended.
