Us…

Us…
by Maggie Haight
[Verse 1]
I might be crazy, but I miss the way you think,
Miss the way you’d look at me before you’d leave.
I hate that I remember every little thing,
The way you said my name,
The way you made me believe.
I told myself I’d get over you,
Like everybody says I’m supposed to do.
But every stupid little memory
Still somehow leads me back to you.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know you probably don’t lose sleep,
I know you probably don’t think of me.
But I’m still stuck somewhere between
Who you were and what we used to be.
[Chorus]
So tell me you love me one more time,
Even if you don’t mean it, just lie.
'Cause I can’t, I can’t, I can’t let go,
And you make me feel insane, I know.
You were my everything, my whole damn world,
And now I’m just some girl you left behind.
So tell me you love me one more time—
Just one more time.
[Verse 2]
You never told me what went wrong,
You just disappeared and carried on.
While I’m lying awake at 2 a.m.,
Wondering if you ever miss me then.
And maybe you never felt the pain
Of watching someone walk away.
Maybe you never loved me like
You swore you did back in the day.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate that I still care,
Hate that I still wish you were there.
You moved on like nothing changed,
While I’m still calling out your name.
[Chorus]
So tell me you love me one more time,
Even if you don’t mean it, just lie.
'Cause I can’t, I can’t, I can’t let go,
And you make me feel insane, I know.
You were my everything, my whole damn world,
And now I’m just some girl you left behind.
So tell me you love me one more time—
Just one more time.
[Bridge — quiet]
Maybe I was too much.
Maybe you weren't enough.
Maybe we were just two kids
Trying to call it love.
But if you never cared,
Why does it hurt like this?
Why do I still close my eyes
And wish you'd come back?
[Final Chorus — big]
So tell me you love me one more time!
I don't care if it's another lie!
Let me pretend that we're still us,
Let me pretend you still give a damn.
You were my everything, my whole damn world,
And losing you still feels so unfair.
So tell me you love me one more time—
[Outro]
One more time…
Before I finally let you go.
One more time…
Just so I know
That what we had
Was real.
Us.
