Verse 1
We were younger, chasing days
Running fast, no plans, no pace
Laughing loud on empty streets
Dreams too big for little feet
You held hope inside your eyes
I held fear I couldn’t hide
Didn’t know what love could mean
We were just learning how to breathe
Pre-Chorus
Time was slow, the world was wide
We didn’t know we’d have to say goodbye
Chorus
We’re growing up, the days are changing
Hearts are learning, still not breaking
I don’t know where life will go
But I’m glad I loved you so
If we fall, if we outgrow
Every step, we’ll never know
We’re growing up… and learning love
Verse 2
School bells ringing, nights awake
Silent tears we never say
Smiles hiding heavy thoughts
We’re stronger now, but still we’re lost
You’re not the same, I’ve changed too
Life keeps pulling us in two
But every time I look back then
I see us just like when
Pre-Chorus
We swore we’d never drift apart
But growing up reshapes the heart
Chorus
We’re growing up, the days are changing
Hearts are learning, still not breaking
I don’t know where life will go
But I’m glad I loved you so
If we fall, if we outgrow
Every step, we’ll never know
We’re growing up… and learning love
Bridge
Maybe love’s not meant to stay
Maybe it just shows the way
Teaches us who we can be
Even if you’re not with me
If one day we’re just a memory
I hope you smile when you think of me
Verse 3
New roads, new names, different dreams
Life’s not how it used to be
But a part of me still knows
You were there when I was close
To giving up, to feeling small
You made me feel like I mattered at all
Final Chorus
We’re growing up, still finding meaning
Some nights hurt, some nights healing
Even if our paths don’t cross
Loving you was never lost
If this is where our story ends
I’ll carry you like childhood friends
We’re growing up… and that’s okay
Love still stays in different ways
Outro
So if you hear this someday, somehow
Just know I’m thankful now
We didn’t lose, we just outgrew
But growing up…
I loved you 💙
