Lost me slowly

You stopped asking how I’ve been

I stopped telling you what’s within

Little silences filled the room And somehow,

I got used to you

I kept making excuses for you

Held on to the things we knew

I thought love would pull us through But I can’t love enough

for two

It wasn’t one fight,

one goodbye Not one tear,

not one last try It was every time I needed you

And every time you never knew

You lost me slowly

While I loved you blindly I was holding on so tightly

You were letting go

quietly

You didn’t break my heart in one night You just stopped making

things right

And by the time you noticed me gone I’d been leaving all

along

I remember who you used to be

The way you made a home of me

Now I’m careful with every word Afraid to ask for what I

deserve I gave you chances,

gave you time Kept your faults and called them mine But somewhere

in the things we lost I forgot what loving me would cost

Maybe you loved me the best you could

Maybe I stayed longer than I should

I don’t need to make you the bad guy

Some things fade without knowing why

I didn’t stop loving you one day I just ran out of

reasons to stay
