We Were Us Before Her | NYXI |

Описание: We were just kids with too much time
Sharing fries, walking home past nine
Same jokes, same songs on repeat
Same bench, same street, same heartbeat
We didn’t name what we were back then
Just best friends, or so we said
Laughing loud, eating late
Making ordinary days feel great
You said, “Nothing will change, I swear”
I believed you like I always did
We were us before her name
Before the silence, before the change
Before your phone lit up all night
And I slowly slipped out of your life
I didn’t lose you all at once
You faded day by day, by chance
Now I’m just someone you once knew
But we were us… before her, you and I
You stopped calling, I noticed first
Made excuses, said you were busy or hurt
I waited where we used to sit
Hoping you’d still remember it
You smiled differently, looked away
When I asked you to stay a little longer that day
She held your hand, I held my breath
That’s when I felt our friendship end
I never hated her, that’s the truth
I just hated losing you
We were us before her eyes
Before you chose a different life
Before I became the “almost” friend
The one you stopped checking in
I didn’t ask to be replaced
I just stood there, out of place
Now I’m talking to memories instead of you
But we were us… before her, we were true
Maybe I loved you in the quiet way
Never asked you to feel the same
I just thought I’d always stay
Right beside you, come what may
If friendship had a breaking sound
It’d be the way you stopped coming around
We were us before goodbye
Before the tears I couldn’t cry
Before I learned how easy it is
To lose someone without a fight
If someday you think of me
I hope it’s gentle, I hope it’s kind
Because I’ll always remember you
As my best friend… before time changed you
We were us
And that was everything
