Some love doesn’t end in shouting.
It ends in distance.

“The Version You Loved” isn’t about betrayal or dramatic collapse.
It’s about the slow realization that someone only stayed as long as you were easier to hold.

Quieter.
Softer.
Less defined.

This piece sits in restraint - piano-led, atmospheric textures beneath it, a controlled vocal that never explodes into rage. There’s no screaming here. No theatrical fallout. Just clarity.

Sometimes the hardest truth isn’t that someone left.
It’s that they never loved the whole of you to begin with.

This song lives in that moment - when you stop reshaping yourself to preserve someone else’s comfort.

Ephemeral Oblivion leans into emotional precision here:
subtle build, layered harmonies, steady resolve.
Not fury. Not collapse.
Identity.

Because love that requires you to disappear
was never love.

✍️ Lyrics by: Brian C and ChatGPT

You liked me better in half-light
Where edges blur and shadows bend
Where I would listen more than speak
And let your version of me win

You smiled when I was careful
When I softened every line
I didn’t see you pulling back
Each time I spoke my mind

I thought love meant adjusting
I didn’t know it meant erase
I kept reshaping who I was
Just to keep that look on your face

I’m not the version you loved
The quiet one you could control
Not the shape you held so close
That never challenged what you know

I won’t fade to fit your world
Or dim myself to be enough
You didn’t love me as I am
You loved the version you loved

You called it compromise
But I was disappearing slow
Every truth I tried to keep
Was something you’d let go

You don’t want sharp or certain
You don’t want fire or flame
You want something safer
Something easier to name

I won’t shrink inside your comfort
I won’t blur around your fear
If honesty creates the distance
Then maybe distance makes it clear

I’m not the version you loved
Not the echo in your frame
Not the softer substitution
That agreed with every claim

I won’t bend until I break
Just to keep you feeling safe
You didn’t love me as I am
You loved the version you loved

I won’t unlearn myself
To make this easier for you
I won’t divide my voice in two
To keep your comfort true

If loving me means less of me
Then that was never love
And I won’t return to something small
Just to be the version you loved

I’m not the version you loved
And I won’t be again
If truth is what pushed you away
Then let that truth stand

I’m still here, unchanged
Even if that’s not enough
You didn’t lose who I became
You lost the version you loved

I’m still me.
Even if you can’t stay.
