I saw you at the coffee shop today
Standing where we used to meet
You looked right through me in that certain way
Like I was just another face on the street

And for a second I wanted to wave
Say something about how I’ve been
But then I realized what I had to save
Was the stranger I’ve become within

You knew me when I’d text you back too fast
When I’d save every song you’d play
The version of me that thought we’d last
Who’d wait around for you all day

But that person couldn’t make it through
So I taught him how to disappear
Learned to sleep when no one’s calling you
And stopped expecting you to reappear

Now I drink different coffee, take new streets
Wear clothes you’ve never seen before
The person standing here who never speaks
Is someone you don’t recognize anymore
