What We Became

(Intro)

Feels like yesterday, but we’re not the same

Too many little things I suddenly can’t just shake

We still talk, but we don’t really hear a thing

And everything that once felt light now carries weight within

(Verse 1)

You used to laugh out loud at all the stupid stuff

Now one wrong word and suddenly it’s way too much

The way you breathe beside me never crossed my mind

Now I’m lying here awake, feeling distant every night

We don’t count mistakes, but we feel them all

And everything that made us strong we slowly let it fall

I’m searching for “back then” in what we are right now

Wondering when “forever” turned into “somehow”

(Pre-Chorus)

I remember how we said

We’d get through whatever

Now we’re standing here in silence

Like we don’t matter

(Chorus)

Feelings come and go like the night turns into morning

We hold on tight, but still get lost inside the storming

I know we’re more than what is breaking right now

But something in between just won’t allow

And I don’t wanna lose you just ‘cause we’re losing us

Over things that never used to matter much

Maybe we’re just tired of who we used to be

Or we just stopped seeing things clearly

(Verse 2)

Trust is kinda broken, still lying on the table

We act like we can fix it, but I’m not really able

Too many little lies that felt way too big

Bigger than the love we had, bigger than what we lived

I know every side of you, every fear, every glance

And that’s exactly why I’m stuck inside this mess

‘Cause I know how you lie and I know when you’re real

But I can’t tell the difference anymore in what I feel

(Pre-Chorus)

And still I’m standing here

‘Cause we’ve been us forever

Like all those years together

Are too much to just disappear

(Chorus)

Feelings come and go like the night turns into morning

We hold on tight, but still get lost inside the storming

I know we’re more than what is breaking right now

But something in between just won’t allow

And I don’t wanna lose you just ‘cause we’re losing us

Over things that never used to matter much

Maybe we’re just tired of who we used to be

Or we just stopped seeing things clearly

(Bridge)

Then someone comes along who knows nothing ‘bout us

No past, no “we”, no broken trust

And suddenly it’s easy, suddenly it’s light

Like how you used to feel back in time

I hate that I feel it, but it’s pulling me in

‘Cause with you right now I don’t know who I’ve been

Maybe it’s wrong, maybe it’s too late

Or just the moment where you finally face

(Outro Chorus – stripped)

Feelings come and go… and I’m stuck in between

What we are right now and what we used to be

I’m still holding on, but I’m starting to see

I’m losing you slowly…

Or maybe just me
