A hauntingly beautiful ballad reflecting on a past relationship that once felt eternal. 'When We Were Us' captures the bittersweet memories of late-night calls, intimate moments, and the painful realization of love lost. With poignant lyrics and emotional depth, it explores the questions that linger after heartbreak and the longing for what once was.
Verse 1:
I remember late-night calls, just us two,
Whispers in the dark, and the world felt new.
Moments shared while we were in the shower,
Skin to skin, it felt like we had superpowers.
Chorus:
But now it feels like we’re just strangers,
Caught in the web of our own dangers.
And I wonder, when you looked in someone else’s eyes,
Did you ever see me, or just goodbyes?
Verse 2:
We fought like lovers do, but thought we’d make it through,
With every tear, I held on tight to you.
Thought love was enough to keep our hearts aligned,
But now all I can do is rewind.
Chorus:
But now it feels like we’re just strangers,
Caught in the web of our own dangers.
And I wonder, when you looked in someone else’s eyes,
Did you ever see me, or just goodbyes?
Bridge:
Oh, if I could go back, I’d stop my heart from falling,
Avoid the pain of this endless calling.
I hear your laugh, but it fades into the night,
Like a shooting star that vanished from my sight.
Chorus:
But now it feels like we’re just strangers,
Caught in the web of our own dangers.
And I wonder, when you looked in someone else’s eyes,
Did you ever see me, or just goodbyes?
Outro:
So I sit here, questioning every turn,
Trying to find solace in what I can learn.
But the echoes of us linger like a song,
In the silence, I wonder, where did we go wrong?

This song is me looking back on a relationship I thought would last forever. I remember the late-night calls, even the times we’d talk while we were both in the shower—it felt like we were so close, like nothing could break us. Even when we argued, I always hoped love would be enough to pull us through. But now that it’s over, I can’t help but wonder if I was wrong. If I could go back, I’d stop myself from falling for you, just to save myself the pain. I keep asking myself how we lost something that felt so real, and I wonder… when you looked into someone else’s eyes, did you ever see me there? Why couldn’t I see it coming?
