Same Room

Funny thing about losing someone slowly… Sometimes they never have to leave I don't remember when I started making less of myself I just know I got good at leaving my own feelings on the shelf You were never cruel enough to make it easy on me You gave me almost everything except what I needed you to see And I hated that I knew it I hated being right I hated every morning that looked better than it felt at night Same room Different place You were looking at me but you couldn't see my face Same love Different way I was holding on tighter while you were slipping away And the hardest part the hardest truth Is how much I missed you standing next to you I kept changing the meaning of every little thing Turned nothing into something just to feel you reaching I called it understanding like that made me strong Funny how forgiveness feels different when nobody knows they did wrong And I hated that I stayed there I hated keeping score I hated needing less from you and somehow hurting more Same room Different place You were looking at me but you couldn't see my face Same love Different way I was holding on tighter while you were slipping away And the hardest part the hardest truth Is how much I missed you standing next to you I made excuses till they sounded like my own I protected every reason you gave me to feel alone I kept making you innocent I kept carrying the weight I kept waiting for a moment you never knew you had to make And I wanted to blame you God, I wanted to But you never meant to hurt me That's what hurt the most about you You were right here… You were right here… And I still lost you (Still here…) (Still here…) Same room Different place You were looking at me but you couldn't see my face Same love Different way I was holding on tighter while you were slipping away And the hardest part the hardest truth Is how much I loved you while I was losing you Funny thing about losing someone slowly… Sometimes they never have to leave
