Verse 1:
I was happy with you, under the starlit skies,
Thought I found what I was looking for, in your eyes.
But somewhere along the way, we lost our way,
I forgot who I was, with every word you’d say.
Chorus:
Now I’m still not over you, still carrying this ache,
What we wanted for us, now feels like a mistake.
Five and a half years, could it all just fall apart?
You distanced yourself, while I kept holding my heart.
Verse 2:
You pretended with me, while the love slipped away,
I stayed through the silence, hoping you’d wanna stay.
But betrayal hit hard, and I felt so alone,
Started running from pain, but now it’s all I’ve known.
Chorus:
Now I’m still not over you, still carrying this ache,
What we wanted for us, now feels like a mistake.
Five and a half years, could it all just fall apart?
You distanced yourself, while I kept holding my heart.
Bridge:
Wasn’t me, I know, just echoes of our past,
Trauma masked the love, and I thought it’d last.
An emotional connection, that turned into a ghost,
Love that once gave me wings, now it’s broken, just a host.
Chorus:
Now I’m still not over you, still carrying this ache,
What we wanted for us, now feels like a mistake.
Five and a half years, could it all just fall apart?
You distanced yourself, while I kept holding my heart.
Outro:
So here I am, running, hanging out, numbing the pain,
Writing down these lyrics, trying to make sense again.
It’s time to find me, to rise from the tear,
But in the quiet moments, it’s still you I fear.

I was happy with you, I found what I was looking for, and in the process we lost ourselves. I was no longer me, I was only us. I'm still not over you, I'm still sad that what I wanted for us is now broken. Five and a half years have passed, and then you fell out of love, distanced yourself, and just pretended with me. Then you betrayed me, and I still didn't leave. I started running, hanging out, numbing myself, and now I've started writing song lyrics. It wasn't me, I know that. It was trauma and a lack of foresight. It was an emotional connection that was lost. It was love that fell. Because it was too important to me, because it gave me everything, now it's over.
