[Verse]
You started speaking in a slower kind of way
Like every word got lost along the way
You used to finish every thought I had
Now I’m the only one who understands

Your eyes would pass right over mine like glass
Like I was someone from a distant past
I laughed it off, said “you just need some rest”
But something heavy settled in my chest

[Pre-Chorus]
I felt you slipping through my hands
But you were still right here

[Chorus]
I lost you twice
Once when your voice forgot my name
When every memory we made
Just slowly washed away
I tried to pull you back to life
But you were drifting out of sight

I kept pretending you were still the same
While every day you drifted further away
I held on tighter every time it broke
Like love alone could fix what I can’t control
I watched you fade in front of my eyes
I lost you twice

[Verse]
The room was filled with unfamiliar sounds
Machines where laughter used to hang around
A plastic band wrapped tightly round your wrist
Like proof of something we could not resist

You looked at me like I was hard to place
Like you were searching for a missing face
And in that moment something in me knew
I wasn’t losing time, I’m losing you

[Pre-Chorus]
I called your name into the quiet
But it never reached you

[Chorus]
I lost you twice
Once when your world erased my face
When every piece I couldn’t replace
Just vanished into space
I stayed while everything declined
And watched you leave me far behind

I learned to speak in ways you’d recognize
To fit inside the fragments of your mind
I turned our history into simple lines
Hoping somehow you’d read between the signs
But every version of you I could find
Still led me back to:
I lost you twice

[Verse]
The final night was quieter than fear
No alarms left ringing in my ears
Your hand was lighter resting into mine
Like you had let go long before that time

I didn’t beg for you to stay again
I’d said goodbye a thousand times back then
And when the silence finally filled the room
It felt like something I already knew

[Bridge]
Which one was worse, I still can’t decide
Losing you slowly or all at once that night
Was it the moment that you forgot my face
Or when your heart just quietly slipped away
I’m left with echoes I cannot erase
A double loss I carry every day
Now every empty space you left
Feels louder than your voice

[Final Chorus]
I lost you twice
Once when I watched you disappear
Piece by piece you weren’t still here
Though you were standing near
And then the final breath you took
Closed every unfinished book
I lost you twice

[Outro]
Now every corner holds a trace
Of who you were before it changed
I speak your name into the night
And wait for something to reply
But all that answers me inside is:
I lost you twice

I lost you twice
