As it was

Holdin' me back
Gravity's holdin' me back
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don't we leave it at that?
Nothin' to say
When everything gets in the way
Seems you cannot be replaced
And I'm the one who will stay, oh-oh-oh

In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was

You're slipping away.
I can feel it.
Your phone calls are getting
shorter and shorter
fewer and fewer.

It worries me.
It's like you have found a way
to live without me
and all I can do is miss you.
I'm going crazy.

I'm spinning out of control.
I'm too afraid to ask
if you don't need me anymore?
I fear the truth.
What if you're better off
without me?

I need you to tell me
that we're okay.
I need you to reach out.
Comfort me.
Slay my inner demons.
I'm lost without you.

Too far away.
I just wanna go home.
Bury myself in you.
Make sure you're still there.
I need you to look at me
like you have always
looked at me.
I'm scared.
What if you don't look at me
the same?

I'm stuck.
I could never walk away.
There will never be anyone else.
How could it be?
I love you.
You.

It has always been you and me
against the world.
We grew up together.
Molded each other
into the people we are today.
I don't know who I am without you.

You haven't left.
Yet.
Maybe it's just my brain ghosts
playing tricks?
My severe fear of abandonment.
I'm no good alone.
Self-destructive.

We've been through so much.
Fought for our love.
I thought we were indestructible.
You don't miss me anymore?

I know it's not the same as it was.
We're not two naive kids anymore.
Maybe you're tired of fighting for me?

I should just talk to you.
I know I should.
That has been our biggest problem.
Communication.
You don't let me in.
Keep it to yourself.

It's better.
Time has been in our favor.
Growing up,
evolving,
maturing.

But I'm still that scared kid sometimes.
Hoping that the blue-eyed boy will love me back.
I know a part of you
will always love me.
Too much history.

But maybe you want to move on?
It's not the same as it was.
As it was.
