When There Was Me and You
Gabriella Montez Lyrics

It's funny when you find yourself, Looking from the outside
It's strange when you realize that you're now viewing things from afar, from someone else's perspective.

I'm standing here but all I want, Is to be over there
I'm currently present in this place, but my heart's desire is to be in another location.

Why did I let myself believe, Miracles could happen?
I'm wondering why I ever thought that anything magical or unexplainable could occur in reality.

'Cause now I have to pretend, That I don't really care
I have to act as though I'm not bothered or moved by what's happening or what I feel.

I thought you were my fairy tale, My dream when I'm not sleeping, A wish upon a star that's coming true
I had this fairytale-like idea of you being the one that I always hoped for even in my sleep, and now it seemed like my wish was granted.

But everybody else could tell, That I confused my feelings, With the truth
Other people could easily see that I mistook my emotions for what was real, and that I had gotten the facts mixed up.

When there was me and you...
Those were the times when we were together, and it was just me and you who mattered most.

I swore I knew the melody, That I heard you singing, And when you smiled you made me feel, Like I could sing along
I felt as though I could relate and understand your rhythm and your melody, even when you were silent, just through your smile.

But then you went and changed the words, Now my heart is empty, I'm only left with used to be's, And once upon a song
Once you changed your tune and what you said, it felt as though all that remained was the past, the memories, the nostalgia that we both had, and just a story we could reminisce about and tell.

Now I know you're not a fairytale, And dreams are meant for sleeping, And wishes on a star just don't come true
I now understand that you're not some sort of magical phenomenon or a product of my imagination; dreams only come true in sleep, and wishes don't always materialize.

'Cause now even I can tell, That I confused my feelings with the truth, Because I liked the view, When there was me and you...
I recognize that even I was unable to discern my emotions from what was factual, simply because I enjoyed the vision of how things used to be when it was just you and me.

I can't believe that I could be so blind, It's like you were floating, While I was falling, And I didn't mind...
It's amazing that I was incapable of seeing the reality of the situation, that you were effortlessly floating while I was plummeting, but wasn't too bothered by it.

Because I liked the view, I thought you felt it too, When there was me and you
I simply enjoyed the way things appeared, and that was why I thought that you reciprocated my feelings, back when it was just you and me.
