[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)
