[Verse 1]
Used to fall asleep on the phone
Now I stare at this screen, it’s stone
You read my text, let it sit
I’m still in love, you’re over it
You were in my hood every day
Bare feet on my couch, no shame
Laughing in the kitchen, singing off-key
Now your shadow’s all you leave me
[Chorus]
You’re a distant love, a fading memory
I keep reaching out, but you’re out of reach
I still taste July on your cherry lip gloss
You moved on fast, I’m stuck in the loss
I don’t understand how you slipped from me
Turned a real thing into history
You’re a distant love, a fading memory
But you still live in me (oh)
[Verse 2]
I replay that fight in my head
Every word that I wish I hadn’t said
You turned your face to the window light
Like you were already saying goodbye
Now your friends scroll past my name
You switched up routes, don’t walk my way
Guess I’m just a song that you skipped
Guess your heart closed, mine still trips
[Chorus]
You’re a distant love, a fading memory
I keep reaching out, but you’re out of reach
I still taste July on your cherry lip gloss
You moved on fast, I’m stuck in the loss
I don’t understand how you slipped from me
Turned a real thing into history
You’re a distant love, a fading memory
But you still live in me (yeah)
[Bridge]
Did you find your peace in someone new?
Do they get the secrets I knew?
I gave you my future, my family name
You gave me a silence, I can’t explain (can’t explain)
[Chorus]
You’re a distant love, a fading memory
I keep reaching out, but you’re out of reach
I still taste July on your cherry lip gloss
You moved on fast, I’m stuck in the loss
I don’t understand how you slipped from me
Turned a real thing into history
You’re a distant love, a fading memory
But you still live in me, still live in me
