We Were Just People

[Verse 1] We started small, like voices in a room Two cups of tea, one broken spoon You laughed at things no one else knew And I felt seen — like light came through But love was harder than we planned We held the fire with open hands It burned a little more each day But neither one would walk away [Chorus] We were just people Not meant to be heroes We made mistakes Then made them twice We were just trying But not always right And we couldn’t save us But we were alive [Verse 2] You said “I’m sorry” like it hurt Like every word was touching dirt I nodded like I understood But I was still stuck in the should I never hated you for leaving I hated how we kept believing That if we just held on too tight We’d turn our wrong into something right [Chorus] We were just people Not meant to be perfect We kissed through silence And fought through pride We loved in pieces But not in time And we couldn’t save us But we were alive [Bridge] I still wear the sweater you forgot It doesn’t fit, but it holds a lot And maybe one day, I’ll forget the way Your name feels soft when I don’t say [Chorus] We were just people Not meant to last forever We wrote our names In borrowed skies We said goodbye But never lied And we couldn’t save us But we were alive
