You Lost Me Forever Lyrics

Hm

You kept the house, I kept the silence
Both of us knew what that would mean
You wore your pride just like good clothing
I wore the cracks you couldn′t see
I gave you days without demanding
I gave you truth without a stage
You gave me words that sounded tender
Then turned your eyes and changed the page

You lost me forever
Not in a scream, not in a fight
You lost me slowly
One quiet wound at a time
You lost me forever
Long before I said goodbye
Love didn't leave in a moment
It left by losing its light

There was no storm to blame the ending
No shattered glass, no slamming doors
Just little ways you stopped my breathing
While saying everything was yours
I learned to speak in lowered volume
To make myself fit into less
Until one day I heard it clearly
Peace shouldn′t feel like loneliness

You lost me forever
Not when I walk, but when I stay
You lost me trying
To love me only halfway
You lost me forever
When I forgot my own name
And I won't call that devotion
If all it left me was pain

Now the room sounds different at night
Not better, just finally mine
I let the window face the morning
I let my heartbeat choose the time
And if you reach for what is missing
Don't dress it up as destiny
Some things don′t break, they just go empty
That′s what you made of you and me
I won't curse you for your blindness
I won′t beg you to recall
But there are losses made in daylight
That still outlast them all

You lost me forever
And that's the truest thing I know
Not every ending
Needs a bitter kind of cold
You lost me forever
And I don′t need to make it cruel
It's just the price of being careless
With a heart that once chose you
outro
You didn′t break me
You just lost me, mm
Hm
