(Verse 1)
Empty room, another night without you
And I know it's pointless asking now that you're gone
But these questions keep on spinning in my head
So here I am, asking them to you instead
When did it start? The way you pushed me away?
Was it when you flinched when our hands touched that day?
Or maybe that one night you said that I was"too much"?
I told myself you were just tired, ignored my gut and such
(Pre--Chorus)
The warmth inside your eyes, the way you’d say my name
I felt it all grow colder, I knew it wasn't the same
But I was scared to lose you, so I just held on tight
What a fool I was, pushing you further into the night
(Chorus)
So I'm asking you, though I'll get no reply
When you said you loved me, was it all a lie?
And through the months or years you spent with me
How long was there someone else I didn't see?
When I said"I miss you," was it just small talk to you?
Just another casual phrase you had to listen to?
I don't care if it was all a game you played
Just answer one, please, just one thing, I'm not afraid.
(Verse 2)
Our phone calls getting shorter every night
Your one-word answers, yeah, I see the signs in hindsight
The way you’d walk a single, careful step behind
And flip your phone face down, to keep me blind
I thought that it was love, you were just checking out
We dreamt of different futures, of that there is no doubt
It's pathetic how I couldn't see the truth
So I just keep rewinding the last days of me and you
(Bridge)
And what would change if you replied to me?
I know I'd only feel more misery
No, maybe I just really need to know for sure
How easily the world I built with you walked out the door
(Chorus)
So I'm asking you, though you will never hear
When you said you loved me, was there one moment that was sincere?
And when you smiled at me, through all that time
Was your heart already somewhere else, and no longer mine?
When I said"I miss you," was it just small talk to you?
Just a meaningless distraction you had to get through?
I don't care if you were acting all along
Just tell me one thing, please, just tell me where I went so wrong.
(Outro)
When did it start...
When did I start to fade...
From your world...
I'm asking you...
Even though you'll never answer me.
