We Lost We

[Intro]
(Slow, lonely acoustic guitar picking)

[Verse 1]
I’m staring at the phone, willing it to ring
Like any other day, like it doesn’t mean a thing
The air is heavy, the tone here is cold
A story in the headline we never wanted told.
My car in the driveway, I can’t find the keys
My world is spinning, I fall to my knees
I just saw you Sunday, we laughed in the rain
I’m kneeling here drowning in this sudden sharp pain.

[Chorus]
Why did you go where I can’t follow?
Why is this "why" so bitter to swallow?
Did I miss a cue, did I look away?
What were the words I forgot to say?
I’m remembering our life we once knew
Searching for the cracks where you lost you.
What did I do wrong, or what did I not do
To keep this monster from taking you.

[Verse 2]
We were so close, together most nights
Chasing every sunset until morning light
We talked for hours about nothing at all
I was certain you’d be there to catch me if I’d fall.
I can still hear your voice, clear as a bell
With a joke and a grin and a story to tell
It doesn't make sense, no, it doesn’t fit the frame
That the world keeps turning while I’m shouting your name.

[Verse 3]
(Music swells, adding heavy drums and distorted guitar)
The sorrow is turning, it’s turning to rage
You just quit our story, you tore out the page
You cut me so deep, ripped out my soul
I am now empty, never again to be whole.
Left in the silence, left with a ghost
You left me alone when I need you most.
I will live with this hole the rest of my life
Knowing that we lost WE, to your strife.

[Guitar Solo - Emotional and Gritty]
[Outro]
(Music fades back to a single guitar)
I hope that you’re resting, I hope you find peace
I hope the monster has finally released.
I’m kneeling here crying at what you let go
So much more to life, you’ll never know.
I’ll always miss you, I’ll love you the same
But I’m left in the wreckage, just calling your name.
We lost so much... God, we lost so much.
[End]
