I Miss Who We Were

[Verse 1]

You used to call me just to talk,
About your day, about it all,
We didn't need a reason then,
We could just stay up and forget the time.

Now every conversation
Feels like something's missing,
You say you're fine, I say I'm fine,
But we both know we're only lying.

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't know when we changed,
I don't know who's to blame,
One day you felt like home to me,
Now I don't even know what to say.

[Chorus]

We're not the same anymore,
Not like we were before,
I still know your favorite things,
But I don't know what you want from me.

We're not the same anymore,
And I can't keep asking why,
Maybe some things just change,
Even when you want them to stay alive.

[Verse 2]

I still remember little things,
The way you'd laugh at everything,
The stupid jokes nobody got,
The way we'd talk until we'd lose our thoughts.

And now I see you passing by,
I wanna stop you, but I don't try,
'Cause what would I even say?
"How have you been?" like nothing changed?

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't know when we changed,
I don't know who's to blame,
We went from knowing everything
To barely knowing what to say.

[Chorus]

We're not the same anymore,
Not like we were before,
I still know your favorite things,
But I don't know what you want from me.

We're not the same anymore,
And I can't keep asking why,
Maybe some things just change,
Even when you want them to stay alive.

**[Bridge — soft, then build]**

Maybe I should let it go,
Maybe that's what growing means,
You can care about somebody
And still know they shouldn't be with you.

I don't regret the time we had,
I don't regret a thing,
I just wish that when I think of us,
It didn't hurt this much to breathe.

**[Final Chorus — bigger]**

We're not the same anymore,
Not like we were before,
I still know your favorite things,
But I don't know you anymore.

We're not the same anymore,
And maybe that's okay,
I'll keep the good, I'll leave the rest,
And let us both go our own way.

**[Outro — soft female vocal]**

You used to feel so close to me…
Now you're just somebody
I used to know.
