In the heart of the city, under the neon lights Our paths crossed, igniting endless nights Drawn together by an irrefutable force Our lives starkly veered and took a new course We partied and danced, like there would be no tomorrow Stifling and burying our collective sorrow We smoked and we drank and continued to consume Ignoring our reality, our inevitable doom Weeks turned to months, and months then to years And we kept on running, never addressing our fears We spent so much time orbiting one another We never stopped to realize we didn't know each other Never stopped to ask "Who are you? Who are WE?" Instead we fell further into a together-but-separate fantasy We were living as strangers, we just didn't know it But eventually our faces started to show it The stars in our eyes began to fade Upon our shoulders, a burden clearly weighed We went through the motions, tried to make things right But it was very clear to us, there was no hope in sight And then one day, as quickly as our start You made the decision to silently depart Though the silence between us had dragged on and on It was still somehow quieter with you being gone And after all this time, this distance, this blur I just really wish I knew who you were
