There was a time wasn’t there When your laugh filled the quiet When even silence felt soft because it belonged to us Now all I hear is that space where you used to be I walk past places we knew The ghost of your voice clinging to the air Every streetlight flicker feels like a reminder Every sunset feels like it watched us fall apart I thought I saw you yesterday Or maybe I only wanted to The world blurs Because I’m still looking for your outline in the crowd Is this what you wanted To leave me tangled in what ifs In a song that keeps playing Even when you stopped listening I’ve tried to forget But forgetting you is like trying to unhear the waves Or untaste the rain It’s always been about you And maybe it always will

About You (OURS)
There was a time wasn’t there When your laugh filled the quiet When even silence felt soft because it belonged to us Now all I hear is that space where you used to be I walk past places we knew The ghost of your voice clinging to the air Every streetlight flicker feels like a reminder Every sunset feels like it watched us fall apart I thought I saw you yesterday Or maybe I only wanted to The world blurs Because I’m still looking for your outline in the crowd Is this what you wanted To leave me tangled in what ifs In a song that keeps playing Even when you stopped listening I’ve tried to forget But forgetting you is like trying to unhear the waves Or untaste the rain It’s always been about you And maybe it always will
