Erosion

(Verse 1)
We didn’t start with screaming,
It was softer than that.
Just tired eyes, short answers,
Little cracks in what we had.

We fought about the dishes,
About nothing, about tone.
Every word became a question,
Every silence felt like home.

(Pre-Chorus)
I tried to choose my battles,
Tried to say the perfect thing.
But love got careful,
And careful turned into distance between.

(Chorus)
It wasn’t fire, it was erosion,
Slow and quiet, hard to see.
We wore each other down with words
Until there was barely a “we.”
(Ohohohohohoho)
It wasn’t hate, it wasn’t loud,
Just everything we couldn’t say.
Love didn’t break all at once—
It faded away.
(Ohohohohohoho)

(Verse 2)
We stopped touching without thinking,
Stopped laughing in between.
Every small mistake I made
Felt bigger than it should’ve been.

You packed your bags so gently,
Like you didn’t want to bruise the truth.
I stood there holding all the things
I never learned how to lose.

(Pre-Chorus)
I didn’t know when to be quiet,
Didn’t know when to fight.
I just know I miss the version of us
That felt light.

(Chorus)
It wasn’t fire, it was erosion,
Slow and quiet, hard to see.
We wore each other down with words
Until there was barely a “we.”
(Ohohohohohoho)
It wasn’t hate, it wasn’t loud,
Just everything we couldn’t say.
Love didn’t break all at once—
It faded away.
(Ohohohohohoho)

(Bridge)
If I had known this was the end,
I would’ve been more gentle then.
Held my tongue, held your hand,
Instead of trying to win.

If I had known this was the end,
I would’ve been more gentle then.
Held my tongue, held your hand,
Instead of trying to win.

(Ohohohohohoho)
(Ohohohohohoho)

Ohohoohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
(Chorus)
It wasn’t fire, it was erosion,
Slow and quiet, hard to see.
We wore each other down with words
Until there was barely a “we.”
(Ohohohohohoho)
It wasn’t hate, it wasn’t loud,
Just everything we couldn’t say.
Love didn’t break all at once—
It faded away.
(Ohohohohohoho)

It wasn’t fire, it was erosion,
Nothing sudden, nothing fast.
Just a thousand little moments
That we never meant to last.
(Ohohohohohoho)
I don’t blame you, I blame time,
And the way we stopped being kind.
Love didn’t leave in anger—
It disappeared one grain at a time.

Mhmmm

Some endings don’t explode.
They dissolve.

And I still feel you
in the quiet you left behind.
