Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] What happened to we Used to laugh on that thrift-store couch Cartoons on Kids asleep You'd fall out to their tiny shouts Ely’s crayons on the floor Zayleen dancing in my shoes Little Abreily at the door Crying every time I’d move [Pre-Chorus] I see it like a movie Playing on repeat I paused it when I hurt you Now I’m begging Hit play with me [Chorus] What happened to we I broke what we built I’m holding the pieces Drowning in guilt I know I let you down But I won’t let it be I’m fighting for us For Ely Zayleen Abreily I know I let you down But this ain’t how it ends for me What happened to we I’m gonna make it right You’ll see [Verse 2] All your texts that I left on read All the nights that I came home late You were tracing circles on our bed Counting every empty space Kitchen light at 2 a.m You were stirring quiet rage I was there and not with them Half a heart on another page [Pre-Chorus] If sorry was a doorway I’d be on my knees Knocking ‘til my hands ache Till you open back to me [Chorus] What happened to we I broke what we built I’m holding the pieces Drowning in guilt I know I let you down But I won’t let it be I’m fighting for us For Ely Zayleen Abreily I know I let you down But this ain’t how it ends for me What happened to we I’m gonna make it right You’ll see [Bridge] I’ll show up for every story time (every night) Every scraped knee Every late-night cry (I’ll be there) I’ll take the blame I’ll change my ways If you give me one more try [Chorus] What happened to we I broke what we built I’m holding the pieces But I won’t quit I know I let you down But that’s not where we leave I’m fighting for us For Ely Zayleen Abreily I know I let you down But this ain’t how it ends for me What happened to we I’m gonna make it right You’ll see (you’ll see)
