Lyrics

It wasn’t fire, it wasn’t war
No screaming fights, no slamming doors
Just little things we let slip by
Like silence growing, night by night
The coffee cold, the missed goodbyes
The way you looked, but not in my eyes
We laughed less, but never cried
Until one day, love just… died
How did we get so broken?
We barely touched, we barely spoke and
I still remember every smile
But somehow lost us all the while
It wasn’t one big moment
Just pieces cracked and never spoken
How did we get so broken?
We said “I’m fine” when we were not
Left little wounds that time forgot
Too proud to ask, too tired to try
Too scared to say a last goodbye
You slept beside me, miles away
We faded slow, then slipped away
And now I sit in all this space
Still reaching for your phantom face
How did we get so broken?
Two souls apart, no word was spoken
I’d take it back, I’d start again
But I don’t know where we began
No storm, no fight, just drift and freeze
Like winter stealing all the leaves
How did we get so broken?
If I had shouted, if you’d stayed
If one of us had disobeyed
The quiet rules we never said
Would we still hold each other’s thread?
How did we get so broken?
I reach for you through words unspoken
It wasn’t hate, it wasn’t lies
Just love that slowly closed its eyes
And now I’m here, and you’re not there
A memory fading into air
How did we get so broken?
How did we get so broken?
