*(Verse 1)*
Met you in the hallways of our school
Quiet eyes, a voice so smooth
In a world so loud and cold
You were the only hand to hold
*(Pre-Chorus)*
We laughed in texts, we spoke in dreams
Gave each other secret names
I hid my heart behind the seams
Never thought you'd feel the same
*(Chorus)*
But love was blind, and I was too
Didn't see the signs in you
I built a world, a perfect view
Only to watch it fall in two
You loved him, and I loved you
And I was lost in shades of blue
*(Verse 2)*
Two years of hoping, two years of lies
Not from you, but in my mind
Told myself you'd turn around
But love was never mine to bind
*(Pre-Chorus)*
We laughed in texts, we spoke in dreams
Gave each other secret names
I hid my heart behind the seams
Never thought you'd feel the same
*(Chorus)*
But love was blind, and I was too
Didn't see the signs in you
I built a world, a perfect view
Only to watch it fall in two
You loved him, and I loved you
And I was lost in shades of blue
*(Bridge)*
Fought the truth, but it held on tight
Back and forth through day and night
Took some time to let you go
Now I see, now I know
*(Outro)*
You were gentle, you were kind
A love that wasn't meant for mine
Now I smile when I hear your name
'Cause real love never fades in shame
