YOU LOST ME

[Verse 1] You said “forever” like a placeholder Like something you could erase You kept my heart on a lower shelf Just in case I gave you time You gave me distance That’s not the same Don’t twist it You wanted warmth Without the friction But love isn’t frictionless ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I stopped bending Stopped pretending That this was balanced You stopped trying Kept denying What was obvious ⸻ [Chorus] You lost me Not slowly Not loudly You lost me So quietly I stopped waiting Stopped breaking For your apologies Now it’s too late Too late You lost me ⸻ [Verse 2] You thought I’d stay where you left me Frozen in your frame But I don’t shrink to fit the silence Or beg you to explain You say I’m colder I got clearer There’s a difference Hear it You wanted easy I wanted honest You couldn’t hold it ⸻ [Bridge (drop everything — just bass + vocal)] I didn’t scream I didn’t fight I just stepped back And saw the light You thought I’d chase You misread me You didn’t leave You lost me ⸻ [Final Hook (even more stripped)] You lost me So quietly Too late You lost me
