Skipped the ending of that film we loved
Didn’t wanna see how they gave up
Some scenes never get to breathe
Some lines stay stuck between our teeth
Skip like we always do
Past the fights and the fading blue
I don’t need to know how it ends
If I still get to call you a friend
Fast-forward through the ache
Hold on to what didn’t break
We lost a frame, but kept the view
And somehow, I still see you
Skipped the songs that felt too close
Danced in silence, held like ghosts
Not every chapter needs a close
Some hearts speak in undertones
Skip like a scratched CD
But the melody still lives in me
I don’t mind the missing lines
If what we had still hums in time
Fast-forward through the ache
Press play on what we didn’t fake
We skipped the fall, but caught the light
And sometimes, that’s just right
Maybe skipping’s how we cope
A broken way to hold on to hope
Skip like we always do
Past the fights and the fading blue
I don’t need to know how it ends
If I still get to call you a friend
Fast-forward through the ache
Hold on to what didn’t break
We lost a frame, but kept the view
And somehow, I still see you
