We met in a crowded room
At a friend’s old house one night
I was too shy to say your name
So my friend spoke for me that time
We started chasing neon lights
Dancing through the smoke and sound
Falling drunk into the mornings
While the whole world spun around
But you stood me up five damn times
Had me waiting by the phone
Made me think you wanted forever
Then left me there alone
So I stopped chasing after you
Told myself to let it go
Till one night you sent a message
Asking if I’d still say “yes” to you
And I did…
I still remember that cold night
After all the drinks and noise
You walked me safely to my doorstep
And gave me your jumper to survive
Funny how something so simple
Still lives inside my mind
Fast forward through the years
Wedding rings and sleepless nights
Five little hearts we called our own
But two flew up into the sky
And God… that pain almost killed me
The darkest chapter of my life
But you stood beside me through the storm
And held me while I cried
Now we’re older, time moves faster
The house is loud but I feel quiet
You think because I keep on smiling
That somehow means I’m fine
But not once did you stop and ask me
If my soul was still alive
You got too comfortable with forever
While I slowly died inside
You take my love for granted
Like it’ll never walk away
But love without respect and effort
Starts to fade a little every day
And maybe this is what hurts most
Not the fights or growing old
But feeling lonely beside the person
Who once made me feel whole
I tried to stay
God knows I tried
But I can’t keep begging
To be loved right
Because marriage and children
Can’t be all we are
I needed your heart to still choose mine
Even after all these scars
And now I’m standing in the silence
Wondering what became of us
How two people who survived everything
Could slowly lose their love
