Lyric

Saw your name in an old photo tonight

Dust on the frame, but the smile still shines

We were young, we were wild, we were learning life

Thought forever was something we could hold tight

Late night drives to the city lights

Windows down under neon skies

You sing along to the radio play

Back when love felt like it would never fade

Now I'm parked on the same old street

Trying to figure out what you left in me

Some things change, some things don't

And your memories still won't let go

'Cause we used to be us, used to be everything

Used to talk all night about wedding rings

Now you're just a ghost in the back of my mind

But every time I close my eyes

I go back in time to the nights we felt alive

When your hand was holding mine

Maybe we're strangers now, maybe that's enough

But part of me still misses what used to be us

I heard your favorite song today

And suddenly everything felt the same

The coffee shop, the summer rain

Every little thing still says your name

I know we've both moved on somehow

Different roads we're walking now

But if I'm honest, staring out, I still wonder where you've been

Maybe love doesn't really disappear

Maybe it just learns how to live in tears

Maybe healing isn't letting go

Maybe it's learning what you'll never know

'Cause we used to be us, used to be everything

Used to talk all night about wedding rings

Now you're just a ghost in the back of my mind

But every time I close my eyes

I go back in time to the nights we felt alive

When your hand was holding mine

Maybe we're strangers now, maybe that's enough

But a part of me still misses what used to be us

If I saw you tomorrow, would I know what to say?

Would we laugh like old friends, or just walk away?

I don't need forever, I don't need another chance

But sometimes I still replay our last slow dance

Yeah, we used to be us, used to be a dream

Now you're somewhere out there living without me

And I'm learning to smile at the memories we made

Even if some of them never really fade

The city lights are passing by like all the years we left behind

And though I know it's over and we've both grown up

There'll always be a part of me that remembers us
