00:13People might say we were temporary
00:18And just another chapter closing down
00:27But they weren't there when you held me
00:31When the whole world disappeared around us
00:39They don't know the nights we shared
00:42They don't know the dreams we made
00:47They only see the ending
00:49They never saw the love we gave
00:55We were more than a moment
00:59More than a name in the past
01:02We were two hearts wide open
01:06Trying to make something last
01:09Even if forever wasn't ours to hold
01:15We were more than a moment
01:20And I'll never call in love
01:45I won't rewrite our story
01:49Just because the final page was hard
01:58Some beautiful beginnings
02:02Can still leave a permanent mark
02:10Maybe we were meant to teach each other
02:14How to love and how to let go
02:17Maybe that's the reason
02:19Our paths crossed long ago
02:25We were more than a moment
02:29We were more than a moment
02:52We were more than a moment
02:53Always let that show
02:55I love you
03:35You don't have to apologize for choosing another role
03:42I don't need another reason, I already know
03:49We both try to make it work
03:53We both gave what we could give
03:57Sometimes love isn't enough
04:00And that's just how life is
04:05No hard feelings
04:08No, I don't blame you
04:11We were just two people
04:15Trying to make it through
04:18If I see you someday
04:22I won't turn away
04:26No hard feelings
04:30I hope you're doing okay
04:40I still remember your favorite song
04:44I still remember how you smile
04:47But those memories don't hold me
04:52They just stay for a while
04:55I'm not angry at the ending
04:59I'm not afraid of yesterday
05:02I can thank you for the good times
05:07And still walk away
05:11Maybe love doesn't always mean
05:15You get to keep someone
05:17Sometimes love means saying
05:22Thank you when it's done
05:26No hard feelings
05:28No, I don't blame you
05:31No, I don't blame you
05:33We were just two people
05:35Trying to make it through
05:38If I see you someday
05:42I'll smile and walk away
05:46No hard feelings
05:50I hope you're happy someday
05:52If I see you someday
06:21I look at the sky tonight
06:26And wonder if you're looking too
06:29Maybe we're beneath the same stars
06:33Just seeing different shades of blue
06:36You used to say the moon was ours
06:39Now it shines above a different light
06:43Finding out something so familiar
06:47Could suddenly feel so far away
06:52Under your side of the sky
06:56Is there a piece of me tonight?
07:00Do you ever close your eyes?
07:03And remember how we used to shine
07:06I know we had to say goodbye
07:10But some questions never die
07:13Under your side of the sky
07:20I hope you're doing alright
07:36I don't need you to come back
07:40I don't need another chance
07:43I just hope that life you're living
07:47Feels like the one you always planned
07:50If our paths never cross again
07:53I'll still be grateful that they did
07:57You were a beautiful part of me
08:01The time will never take away
08:04Under your side of the sky
08:11I hope your heart is sleeping fine
08:18Maybe somewhere in the night
08:24You remember when you were mine
08:29You remember when you were mine
08:32We don't have to reunite
08:36To know our love was real that time
08:40Under your side of the sky
08:48I wish you peace tonight
08:52I wish you peace tonight
08:54I wish you peace tonight
09:16I不會 far God
09:27I used to think that loving you
09:31Me never letting go
09:33So I held on through the silence
09:37Even when we both knew
09:40You were looking for an exit
09:43I was looking for a reason
09:47But sometimes the hardest answer
09:50Is the one we already know
09:53I learned to release you
09:56Without letting go of love
09:59I learned that I can miss you
10:03And still wish you enough
10:06You don't have to belong to me
10:09For me to want you free
10:12I learned to release you
10:17And finally let you breathe
10:38It wasn't easy waking up to a room without your voice
10:43But every day became a little lighter
10:46When I stopped fighting your choice
10:50I stopped asking what went wrong
10:53Stopped searching for someone to blame
10:56Some endings don't need enemies
11:28They just need two hearts
11:29You don't have to belong to me
11:34For me to want you free
11:37I learned to release you
11:42And that's how I learned to breathe
12:09And that's how I learned to breathe
12:22If tonight was our last conversation
12:26If tomorrow we became strangers
12:29I'd have one thing left to tell you
12:33Before we walked away
12:36I wouldn't talk about the fighting
12:41I wouldn't count the tears
12:43I'd tell you that I loved you
12:47Through all those beautiful years
12:51The last thing I would say
12:54Is thank you for the days
12:58For every little moment
13:02That made me who I am today
13:06Even though you're leaving
13:09I won't wish the past away
13:12The last thing I would say
13:17The last thing I would say
13:20Is I loved you all the same
13:29Maybe we were not forever
13:32Maybe forever was too much
13:36But we had something honest
13:40In every single touch
13:43And when I think about us
13:47I won't only see the end
13:50I remember you as someone
13:54Who once felt like my best friend
13:59So go with no regret
14:03Take every dream you had
14:07I'll find my own tomorrow
14:10And remember what we had
14:16Oh, the last thing I would say
14:21Is thank you for the days
14:25For every broken moment
14:28And the love along the way
14:32Even though you're leaving
14:36Even though you're leaving
14:36I won't wish the past away
14:45The last thing I would say
14:52Is I loved you all the same
15:03And if you're leaving
15:04Because our love
15:06What are you going to have
15:06I love you all the same
15:11And you're leaving
15:11And I love you all
15:15As though we're leaving
15:16Wow
15:16Oh, the last thing we do
15:18Is I loved you dont
15:18Why are you moments
15:18Oh, the last thing I want
15:31Do you remember who you were Before the world got complicated
15:38Before the little things we said Started feeling overrated
15:47We were two hearts in a small room Dreaming bigger than the night
15:53You looked at me like I was everything And I believed it for a while
16:00Now we're standing on two different roads With memories we can't erase
16:13I miss the way we were When your hand was holding mine
16:19When forever sounded simple And tomorrow felt alright
16:27I don't need to have you back I just miss that version of us
16:33Sometimes I close my eyes And remember when we were lost
16:57I don't regret the way we love Even though I couldn't stay
17:03Some chapters have a final line But they don't lose their beauty that way
17:10If I could live all night again I'd choose the ordinary ones
17:16Just sitting there beside you Before we knew what we'd become
17:24Maybe we're strangers now Maybe that's the way it has to be
17:30But somewhere in my memory You're still standing next to me
17:37Maybe I miss the way I miss the way we were When your hand was holding mine
17:45When forever sounded simple And tomorrow felt alright
17:52I don't need to have you back I don't need to have you back
17:56I just miss that version of us
17:58Sometimes I close my eyes And remember when we were us
18:12When we were us When we were us
18:26Our love would never come undone When we were us
18:40I'll always remember us
18:45When we were us
18:45When we were us
