You were once everything to me

I was convinced you were all I would need

But it turns out I was wrong(so wrong)

And now here I am alone

 

How did we go from something

To suddenly nothing

What we were building

Only took seconds to destroy

Now we've gone from friends

To strangers

And we're in a danger zone

There's no going back

To what we used to be

 

The feelings we had

Is just ancient history

Feels like now it means nothing

When I look at you

All I see is emptiness

No love, no care for me at all

It's like we don't know each other

 

How did we from something

To suddenly nothing

What we were building

Only took seconds to destroy

Now we've gone from friends

To strangers

And we're in a danger zone

There's no going back

To what we used to be

 

Had to break my own heart

Just to get over everything

And I'm falling apart

Not like it matters to you anyway

You'd rather have me go away

 

One minute everything's fine

I was so sure you were right for me

But I was blind

How I felt was just a fantasy

 

How did we go from something

To suddenly nothing

(To nothing)

 

How did we go

How did we go

Oh how did we go from something

To suddenly nothing

From friends to strangers

It came crashing down in seconds

 

Now there's no going back

To what we used to be

    Wow! That is tragically beautiful. The highs and lows of falling in and out of love are always so painful. Keep writing, keep feeling. True love is out there waiting for you to be ready. I speak from personal experience as I have been lucky enough to be reunited with my heart's first love after 25 long years apart.

    Really like your tone but I would like to know more about what happened. It suggests that something suddenly occurred which changed everything.
