I’ve fallen out of love
I fell out of lust
A long time ago
Before you even noticed
I wish I still felt the same
as I did that first day
I wish those butterflies
would finally find their way
These escalators are going down
We could take steps backwards
But lose ourselves on the way up
I had high hopes
We could have found
What made us perfect
But now its not worth it
Anymore
Before I was your girl
But now as a woman
I’m not yours
Threads come undone
The pieces
Me and you
Don’t fit
It makes me
Kind of sad
That we lost our
Magic
The Rabbit won't come out of its hat
You can't pick my card
You can't find my heart
The people we were
young love birds
have changed
have lost common ground
on everything
But maybe
in the future
we'll have the same map
we'll meet up at the same place
it'll feel like that first day
even though the past has passed.
