(Single acoustic guitar. Minor key. Immediate.)
Verse 1
It was a phone call that broke me.
A voice that didn’t sound real.
Said your name like it was finished.
Like something you can seal.
Miles apart —
Ever since you moved away.
Said it wouldn’t change a thing.
Said we’d be okay.
But distance stretches quiet
In ways you never see.
And I keep wondering now
If you needed me.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
No warning sign.
No second chance.
Just a sentence
That shattered everything.
⸻
Chorus
I lost you
In a moment I couldn’t breathe through.
I lost you
Before I could reach you.
Miles apart
When it fell apart
And something inside
Went dark.
I lost you
And I lost me too.
⸻
Verse 2 (memories + distance)
Skatepark dust and broken boards,
BMX chains and scraped-up arms.
Trying tricks till it got too dark,
Certain nothing could do us harm.
Late nights feeling infinite,
Bad singing, shouting loud.
We were the stars in each other’s lives,
Bright against any cloud.
In my darkest times
You were the torchlight to the next day.
But after you moved, something shifted —
Calls got shorter, words delayed.
Still said “soon” like it was certain.
Still laughed like we were fine.
Never thought the space between us
Would turn into a line.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
They said it was an accident —
You just wanted to numb the pain.
Just trying to quiet something
That wouldn’t leave your brain.
You didn’t mean to leave.
You just wanted relief.
⸻
Chorus (bigger, cracked)
I lost you
To a night that went too far.
I lost you
To a battle in the dark.
Miles apart
While you slipped away
And I replay
Every single day.
I lost you
And the guilt won’t move.
I lost you
And I lost me too.
⸻
Dark Verse (music drops — low, raw)
I’m lost.
Not loud — just hollow.
Walking through days
I don’t want to follow.
I’m here alone with a drink that burns,
Crying silently, not knowing the way.
We were the stars in each other’s lives —
Now I’m alone not knowing
How to stay.
⸻
Bridge
Did you need me louder?
Did you need me near?
Was there a moment
You wished I’d appear?
If I’d crossed those miles.
If I’d closed that space.
Would I still see that laugh
On your face?
⸻
Final Chorus (softer, drained)
I lost you
And the world moved on.
But something stopped
The day you were gone.
Still breathing
But not the same.
Still standing
In the blame.
Miles apart
But never free.
I lost you.
And I lost me.
⸻
Outro (bare, fragile)
No more noise.
No more fight.
(whisper)
Wolfie… you’re in my heart.
