I remember how it started, Like everything was meant to be. Every little thing you said Felt like it was just for me. I built my life around you, Trusted every word as true. I thought if I just held on, My heart was safe with you. But something’s changed... Between us now, And I don’t know what to do. I’m searching for the boy I loved, Somewhere inside of you. If love were real, Why does it feel like I'm losing you? Why does the quiet Say more than you do? I keep holding on To the person I thought I knew, But the harder I try, The less I recognize you. You used to tell me everything like I was where you’d always land. Now your words feel far away, Like they’re slipping from my hands. I tell myself you’re hurting, That life is pulling you apart, But I can’t shake the fear that I’ve lost your heart. I’m scared to face the question That’s been living in my mind. Was the boy I fell in love with Someone I won’t find? If love were real, Why am I breaking Just holding your hand? Why does “forever” Feel Smaller Than we planned? I keep chasing memories Of the way you used to be. Maybe loving you once Doesn’t mean You’re still for me.

Loving You Lately Pt.1
I remember how it started, Like everything was meant to be. Every little thing you said Felt like it was just for me. I built my life around you, Trusted every word as true. I thought if I just held on, My heart was safe with you. But something’s changed... Between us now, And I don’t know what to do. I’m searching for the boy I loved, Somewhere inside of you. If love were real, Why does it feel like I'm losing you? Why does the quiet Say more than you do? I keep holding on To the person I thought I knew, But the harder I try, The less I recognize you. You used to tell me everything like I was where you’d always land. Now your words feel far away, Like they’re slipping from my hands. I tell myself you’re hurting, That life is pulling you apart, But I can’t shake the fear that I’ve lost your heart. I’m scared to face the question That’s been living in my mind. Was the boy I fell in love with Someone I won’t find? If love were real, Why am I breaking Just holding your hand? Why does “forever” Feel Smaller Than we planned? I keep chasing memories Of the way you used to be. Maybe loving you once Doesn’t mean You’re still for me.
