We used to feel like progress
Now it feels like we’re slipping backwards
Somewhere between love and silence
We lost what we were building
And I don’t understand
How the person I love most
Is becoming the one
I’m starting to resent
How did we get here
Why do you think it’s okay
To treat me like I’m optional
Like I won’t notice
Like I won’t break
What did I do
To deserve distance instead of honesty
Coldness instead of care
Or is it simpler than that
Is there someone else
Taking the place
That used to be mine
Because I feel it
In the way you’ve changed
In the way I question everything now
And it’s getting to the point
Where I don’t even recognise us
Where loving you
Feels heavier than letting go
And I hate that
Because you were never supposed
To be someone
I’d be better off without
