Echoes of Us, Fading in the Rearview
**Title: "When We Were Us"**
**Verse 1**
We used to laugh 'til the sun came up,
Late-night talks, just the two of us.
Now I see you scrolling through your phone,
Chasing shadows, feeling all alone.
You’ve got a new friend, and I can’t compete,
Every time I call, it’s like I’m obsolete.
**Chorus**
When did we drift apart?
When did you break my heart?
I’m standing here, but you’re miles away,
Caught up in someone else’s game.
I miss the days when it was just us two,
Now I’m just a ghost in the rearview.
When we were us, when we were free,
Now it feels like you don’t even see me.
**Verse 2**
I remember secrets shared in the dark,
Now you’re off chasing a brand new spark.
You laugh at their jokes, but I can’t find a smile,
I’m losing you slowly, it’s been a while.
I reach for your hand, but you pull it back,
Caught in a whirlwind, I’m losing track.
**Chorus**
When did we drift apart?
When did you break my heart?
I’m standing here, but you’re miles away,
Caught up in someone else’s game.
I miss the days when it was just us two,
Now I’m just a ghost in the rearview.
When we were us, when we were free,
Now it feels like you don’t even see me.
**Bridge**
I don’t want to fight, I don’t want to plead,
But I’m losing my friend, and it’s hard to breathe.
You’re chasing a dream, but I’m left behind,
Wondering if you’ll ever change your mind.
**Chorus**
When did we drift apart?
When did you break my heart?
I’m standing here, but you’re miles away,
Caught up in someone else’s game.
I miss the days when it was just us two,
Now I’m just a ghost in the rearview.
When we were us, when we were free,
Now it feels like you don’t even see me.
**Outro**
So here’s to the memories, the laughter, the tears,
I’ll hold on to what was, through all of the years.
But if you find your way back, I’ll be waiting here,
Hoping that someday, you’ll remember, my dear.
When we were us, when we were free,
Just a fading echo of what used to be.
