Verse 1
You'd talk like there was no tomorrow,
So I started building one.
I made a home inside your promises
Before we'd even begun.
Every "someday" sounded certain,
Every dream felt like the truth.
Funny how I planned forever...
Without ever knowing you.
Pre-Chorus
Was I your almost?
Your in-between?
Or was forever
Just something I believed?
Chorus
Who even was I to you?
Because you were everything to me.
I was building us forever,
You were building your goodbye.
Was I your future for a little while,
Or just a place you passed through?
Who even was I to you?
Because I never had to wonder who you were to me.
Verse 2
Now I search between the memories
Like I missed some hidden sign.
Trying to find the moment
Your goodbye became mine.
I thought we were turning pages
Toward the same ending, too.
Looking back, I guess
I was the only one who knew.
Pre-Chorus
Did you see forever
When you looked at me?
Or was I standing
In a story you'd already leave?
Chorus
Who even was I to you?
Because you were everything to me.
I was building us forever,
You were building your goodbye.
Was I your future for a little while,
Or just a place you passed through?
Who even was I to you?
Because I never had to wonder who you were to me.
Bridge
I replayed every "someday,"
Wondering when it stopped being true.
I lost years trying to be your future...
While you were already writing a different ending.
I was reading us like a love story...
You were skimming the pages.
I kept rereading every page...
You'd already closed the book.
Final Chorus
Who even was I to you?
Because you were everything to me.
I was building us forever,
You were building your goodbye.
Maybe I was your almost.
Maybe I was just passing through.
Maybe I spent years chasing an answer
You were never going to give.
Outro
I waited for an explanation...
I waited for one last truth...
But maybe your silence already said it.
Maybe that's my answer.
