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
