What We'Ve Become

You don't ask if I'm coming home,
And I stopped counting the nights alone.
We speak in tones that never land,
Every word slips out of our hands.

I feel you close but miles away,
We run in place and call it safe.

Tell me when did love turn numb,
When did we forget where we're from?
I can't feel the heat, it's gone,
Just the weight of holding on.
We were fire, now we're smoke and dust,
Trying to rebuild what's lost in us.

You trace my arm but your eyes don't stay,
You're somewhere else when I say your name.
We used to dream until we drowned,
Now we're just quiet, no one's around.

I feel you close but miles away,
We run in place and call it safe.

Tell me when did love turn numb,
When did we forget where we're from?
I can't feel the heat, it's gone,
Just the weight of holding on.
We were fire, now we're smoke and dust,
Trying to rebuild what's lost in us.

You say it's fine, but your hands let go,
And I can't fake what I used to know.
If this is love, then love's grown cold,
I can't stay where the light won't hold.

Tell me when did love turn numb,
When did we forget what we've become?
I can't feel the heat, it's gone,
Just the weight of holding on.
We were fire, now we're smoke and dust,
I still reach for you out of trust.
But we both know, beneath the sun-
This isn't love, it's what's left of one.
