Halfway To Goodbye

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

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

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

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

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)

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
