You used to point out wedding dresses, When we'd walk in the mall, Showing me ones you'd like, You used to listen to me rant about my past, And tell me how my thousand dollar class ring would never be the most expensive ring I ever own, You used to hold my hand when I got anxious, Be a calming point of contact whenever I'd have panic attacks, Say such romantic things, Like how "life isn't worth living without you", And I don't think I'll ever understand how you can go from looking at someone with such love in your eyes, To breaking up with them the very next day, I sobbed until there were no tears left to cry, The best four months of my life ruined by a simple phone call, I was honestly shocked when you still wanted to be friends, Because everyone I've ever loved has always left, And sometimes I think it would've been better if you had, Because this clinical detachment you've formed, Feels so much worse than that, Now you don't tell me to not be sorry for things, You still send tiktoks, just not the cute ones you used to, You aren't concerned when you see a snap of my sad eyes, Hell you even text me different now, I dont know what the dynamic is supposed to be, How can you go from loving so deeply, To not loving at all, That **** clinical detachment, It's like I've lost you but I'm still haunted by the ghost of you, And you're not the same.

Clinical Detachment
You used to point out wedding dresses, When we'd walk in the mall, Showing me ones you'd like, You used to listen to me rant about my past, And tell me how my thousand dollar class ring would never be the most expensive ring I ever own, You used to hold my hand when I got anxious, Be a calming point of contact whenever I'd have panic attacks, Say such romantic things, Like how "life isn't worth living without you", And I don't think I'll ever understand how you can go from looking at someone with such love in your eyes, To breaking up with them the very next day, I sobbed until there were no tears left to cry, The best four months of my life ruined by a simple phone call, I was honestly shocked when you still wanted to be friends, Because everyone I've ever loved has always left, And sometimes I think it would've been better if you had, Because this clinical detachment you've formed, Feels so much worse than that, Now you don't tell me to not be sorry for things, You still send tiktoks, just not the cute ones you used to, You aren't concerned when you see a snap of my sad eyes, Hell you even text me different now, I dont know what the dynamic is supposed to be, How can you go from loving so deeply, To not loving at all, That **** clinical detachment, It's like I've lost you but I'm still haunted by the ghost of you, And you're not the same.
