Ending Slow

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I still remember how you laughed that first week

Every little thing we said felt like a secret we could keep

Now we talk in short replies across a quiet room

And I keep looking for the person that I knew

You changed your hair

You changed your mind

I changed the way I held on every time

Chorus

I kept waiting for the start

Waiting for the way it felt when we were falling

I kept reaching for a spark

That was never coming back the way I wanted

And I know it's not your fault

You just grew and I got lost

In a memory I couldn't let go

I kept waiting for the beginning

While we were ending slow

Post-Chorus

Slow

We were ending slow

Slow

We were ending slow

Verse 2

I used to count the minutes till you'd call me at night

Now I count the silences and tell myself it's fine

You said you're tired

I said me too

But we were tired of two different things

And neither of us knew

I wanted the version of you from back then

Not the one who was standing right in front of me again

Chorus

I kept waiting for the start

Waiting for the way it felt when we were falling

I kept reaching for a spark

That was never coming back the way I wanted

And I know it's not your fault

You just grew and I got lost

In a memory I couldn't let go

I kept waiting for the beginning

While we were ending slow

Post-Chorus

Slow

We were ending slow

Slow

We were ending slow

Bridge

Maybe love is just a season

Maybe I was holding snow

Asking it to stay the same

While it was melting in my hands

I should've asked you who you were becoming

Instead of grieving who you'd been

I was chasing something that was never mine to win

Chorus

I kept waiting for the start

Waiting for the way it felt when we were falling

I kept reaching for a spark

That was never coming back the way I wanted

And I know it's not your fault

You just grew and I got lost

In a memory I couldn't let go

I kept waiting for the beginning

While we were ending slow
