Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] We were laughing at nothing Burning daylight in your room Shared a toothbrush Shared our secrets Shared the future I assumed Then the nights got a little longer You kept staring at your phone I was reaching for your shoulder You were halfway gone [Chorus] How do you lose a friend you’re in love with How do you stay when they’ve already left I’m still saving you a side of the bed Still folding down the corner you slept If this is what moving on is Why does it feel like standing still How do you lose a friend you’re in love with And call it a love that was real [Verse 2] You still text me your disasters But you leave out all your dreams I can tell the part you’re hiding Used to give that part to me We’re pretending we’re just busy We’re pretending this is fine But I taste you in my coffee I hear you between the lines [Chorus] How do you lose a friend you’re in love with How do you stay when they’ve already left I’m still saving you a side of the bed Still folding down the corner you slept If this is what moving on is Why does it feel like standing still How do you lose a friend you’re in love with And call it a love that was real [Bridge] Maybe one day we’ll be strangers Passing quiet on the street I’ll remember how your laughter Used to lean against my cheek I’ll pretend I never knew you More than anyone I know You’ll pretend you never taught me How to hold on and let go (oh) [Chorus] How do you lose a friend you’re in love with How do you stay when they’ve already left I’m still saving you a side of the bed Still folding down the corner you slept If this is what moving on is Why does it feel like standing still How do you lose a friend you’re in love with And call it a love that was real

Tender alt-pop ballad with male vocals, close-mic’d and intimate. Fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft piano share the verses; brushed drums and warm bass enter on the first chorus. Subtle ambient pads bloom under the hook, then fall away in the bridge for a voice-and-guitar moment before a final, lifted chorus with stacked harmonies and a gentle vocal ad-lib tail., romantic
