“The people we used to be”

V6

[Atmospheric cut] [Verse 1] I remember faces I once knew by heart, The laughter that could silence the whole world. Today I look into your eyes and don’t know who I see, As if someone took away all those days we shared. We had words we never needed to say, We had each other before everything became a game. Now everyone is running, afraid of losing something, And I keep asking myself: why? [Chorus] Today I miss you, but not who you are, I miss the people you were back then. The people who are no longer here, Even though they’re still breathing beside me. Today I miss it, but not this world, The one that pretends everything makes sense. I miss the moment when I still believed That goodness didn’t have to lose every day. [Verse 2] All those little wars changed us, Wars no one remembers, but that left their scars. There was too much silence between one “I love you” And the next “I don’t know what you want from us.” We learned to leave without saying goodbye, We learned not to trust our own hearts. And even when we’re standing close together, Sometimes a thousand miles stand between us. [Chorus] Today I miss you, but not who you are, I miss the people you were back then. The people who are no longer here, Even though they’re still breathing beside me. Today I miss it, but not this world, The one that pretends everything makes sense. I miss the moment when I still believed That goodness didn’t have to lose every day. [Bridge] Maybe we all had our reasons, Maybe life taught us to become strong. But why, just to survive, Did we have to become strangers? I look at old photographs And see people I wish I could know again. I don’t know what hurts more, losing them, Or knowing they’re still here, yet I can’t recognize them. [Final Chorus] So I miss you, but not who you are, I miss the light that once lived inside you. I miss our laughter for no reason, I miss the time when we still believed in us. And maybe the world won’t become any simpler, Maybe it will always be a little broken. But if somewhere beneath it all, you’re still there, I’d like to meet your hearts one more time, Before we became strangers. [Outro] I don’t miss yesterday… I miss what was real. I miss the people I remember. I miss the “us” that no longer exists. And I miss the world Where it was easier to believe That being human was worth it.
