We were just two kids on a couch, tangled in controller cords
You kissed me mid-game, said, “Baby, you’re my reward”
You taught me the rules, held my hand through the start
I was learning the games, but I was losing my heart
Late nights, loud laughs, energy drinks and quiet sighs
I memorized your smile like I memorized the skies
Now your chair’s still warm, but your voice is gone
How’d forever feel so short when it felt so strong?
You left the game on pause, but you left me stuck in play
I keep rewinding memories like they’ll make you stay
You were home on my couch, love in pixel and part
Now you’re just a ghost still logged in to my heart
We stopped hanging out… but I never signed out
Your hoodie’s still draped on the side of my bed
And the echo of laughter still rings in my head
You said, “Just one more round,” but that round never came
Now I’m player one in this one-player game
Your toothbrush still waits like you’ll walk through the door
But your name on my phone don’t light up anymore
We were so alive in our little screen-lit world
Now it’s just me, a condo, and a memory curled
You left the game on pause, but you left me stuck in play
I keep rewinding memories like they’ll make you stay
You were home on my couch, love in pixel and part
Now you’re just a ghost still logged in to my heart
We stopped hanging out… but I never signed out
Maybe someday you’ll look back at our saves
And feel a little ache for the love we gave
But if you ever restart, know I’ll be okay
Just another level I had to face
So I’ll power down slow, and I’ll breathe through the ache
No continues, no cheat codes, just space I must take
But if love is a game, then at least I played true
Even if in the end… I lost you
