We loved like we were running out of time Like holding sand against the tide Now all that’s left are quiet nights And the truth we couldn’t fight We didn’t fall, we slowly leaned Away from what we knew Conversations lost their weight And every “us” felt untrue You stopped reaching for my hand Before I felt the space I learned to read the distance In the softness of your face You said love shouldn’t feel this hard Like effort meant defeat But love is built in fragile parts Not something you delete We loved like we were running out of time Like holding sand against the tide Now all that’s left are quiet nights And the truth we couldn’t fight Out of time… out of time Truth we couldn’t fight Maybe we were brave enough To start but not to stay Some loves don’t end in fire They just slowly fade away We loved like we were running out of time Two shadows walking out of line If forever was a promise It was one we couldn’t sign
