Yeah...
I used to think it was
I stopped expecting too much
From people after a while
It's easier that way
Than getting hurt again
So I learned how to smile
Without saying what's wrong
And carry all my thoughts
Like they didn't weigh a thing
Then you came along
And somehow made it easy
To let somebody in
Again
Funny how
The smallest things
Can leave the deepest marks
A missed call
A tired voice
A conversation cut too short
It wasn't the timing
At least not all of it
It wasn't the distance
Or the fights we didn't fix
You were trying to reach me
I was trying to survive
And somewhere in the middle
We slowly lost the light
It wasn't the timing
It was life
There were more good days
Than bad ones in my mind
You still show up
In stories I tell sometimes
The hardest part isn't
Missing you these days
It's knowing both of us
Really tried to stay
Some people leave
Because they stop caring
We left
Still caring too much
It wasn't the timing
At least not all of it
It wasn't the distance
Or the words we never said
You were holding on
I was running out of breath
And somewhere in the silence
We forgot what mattered next
It wasn't the timing
It was life
One phone call
Could've changed the night
One honest conversation
Might've made things right
But we were both exhausted
Trying to be enough
And love doesn't always win
Just because it's love
It wasn't the timing
And it wasn't the love
It was two tired hearts
Trying not to give up
I don't blame you
And I don't blame me
We were doing our best
With who we used to be
And if I ever see you
Years from now
I hope life is kind
I hope you found your way
It wasn't the timing
It was life
Some stories end
Without a reason
Just two people
Trying their best
And still losing it
