Pensive exchanges

Coversation straining

This is not us

Subtle short-changing,

but you're still amazing

You're my love

What are we to become?

Now you pine for everyone

In different ways

I don't want to be just another name

I wanted to stay

I wanted to stay

Hush Hush arrangements

Conversation waning

Where is us?

Subtle short-changing,

but you're still amazing

You're my love

What are we to become?

Now you pine for everyone

In different ways

I don't want to be just another name

I wanted to stay

I wanted to stay

heartbreak
