Lyrics
You cross my mind from time to time I hope you're doing well
You occupy my thoughts occasionally, and I wish you well.
Those magical moments once proposed a future we'd never tell
Reflecting on the special moments that hinted at an undisclosed future.
In memories, we're sitting in my bedroom late at night
In memories, we're together in my room during late-night hours.
Playing games and talking about school and friends and life
Recalling times when we played games and discussed school, friends, and life.
You'd place your head on my chest, tell me 'bout your mum and dad and family life and all the rest
You would rest your head on my chest, sharing details about your family and life.
And I'd tell you I'd hate myself and all about my mental health we'd cry and hold each other close
Revealing personal struggles, expressing self-hatred, and finding solace in each other.
But we were just kids
We were just children at that time.
Learning how to play with each other's hearts
Exploring the complexities of playing with each other's emotions.
Trying not to smash the parts that matter most
Trying not to damage the essential parts of our connection.
We were just kids
Reiterating that we were still just kids.
Learning how to break down all our walls
Learning to break down emotional barriers.
Barricade up all our thoughts
Building defenses around our thoughts and unintentionally hurting each other.
And hurt each other in the process of it all
Expressing the pain of causing harm during the learning process.
Well I got sick and you got quick to place the blame on me
Describing a period of illness and the quickness to assign blame.
I know when you're upset it's easier to be angry
Recognizing that anger is an easier response to being upset.
I'm sorry if I broke your heart or left you on your own
Apologizing for potential heartbreak and abandonment.
But to this day I keep our photograph saved on my phone
Despite the past, preserving a photograph as a memento.
So tell me how it's all a mess, I ripped your heart right out your chest and watch you writhe away in pain
Reflecting on causing pain and witnessing the aftermath.
And oh my god how time flies, it's been 3 years and when you think of me do I still make you cry
Noting the passage of time and questioning if memories still evoke tears.
'Cause we were just kids
Reiterating that during these events, they were just kids.
Learning how to play with each other's hearts
Continuing to explore the intricacies of playing with emotions.
Trying not to smash the parts that matter most
Attempting to avoid damaging the crucial aspects of the relationship.
But we were just kids
Emphasizing that they were still in the early stages of understanding emotions.
Learning how to break down all our walls
Learning how to dismantle emotional barriers.
Barricade up all our thoughts
Fortifying thoughts and inadvertently causing pain in the process.
And hurt each other in the process of it all
Reflecting on the cycle of emotional hurt during the learning process.
And I hope you know you still matter to me
Expressing that the person still holds significance in their thoughts.
And I hope you know you still pass my thoughts weekly
Reiterating that thoughts of the person persist on a weekly basis.
But we were just kids
Affirming that, despite the past, they were still just kids.
Learning how to play with each other's hearts
Continuing to navigate the complexities of playing with emotions.
Trying not to smash the parts that matter most
Trying to avoid damaging the crucial elements of the connection.
But we were just kids
Reiterating that during these events, they were just kids.
Learning how to break down all our walls
Persistently learning to break down emotional barriers.
Barricade up all our thoughts
Continuing to fortify thoughts and inadvertently causing pain in the process.
And hurt each other in the process of it all
Concluding with a reflection on the ongoing cycle of emotional hurt.
