In this poignant ballad, the artist explores the painful journey of growing apart from a once close companion. The lyrics depict a narrative of childhood friendship that has withered over time due to divergent paths and undisclosed transgressions. The refrain "Deep in my heart, I know that it's over" underscores the acceptance of an inevitable end to their bond. The act of deleting the friend's number symbolizes the deliberate decision to sever ties and move on. However, there's an underlying tone of regret and longing for the past, conveyed through phrases like "Call you my brother, the way that we used to". This song serves as a testament to the harsh reality that relationships evolve with time, often leading to unexpected separations.
Younger
Lyrics
You and I used to walk the streets at night
Our parents didn't know, kept the TV going
And left on all the bedroom lights
And no, I haven't seen you since we lost all our innocence
You left me in the dark while you drink in the park
We'll never be the same again
You and me were so, so close
And maybe that's what hurts the most
It's out of my hands, I've done what I can
So I just save my breath
Deep in my heart, I know that it's over
Deleted your number so I can't call you
Call you my brother, the way that we used to
When we were younger, younger
I saw you just the other night
I didn't even recognize you
Find it kind of strange, I guess that people change
But I didn't expect you to
You and me were so, so close
And maybe that's what hurts the most
It's out my hands, I've done what I can
So I just save my breath
Deep in my heart, I know that it's over
Deleted your number, so I can't call you
Call you my brother, the way that we used to
When we were younger, younger
Tryna get in touch with you, I don't know where you've been
Have a conversation but you'll never let me in
I've tried, I've tried
I've tried with you a thousand times
Maybe I don't have to play the bad guy in the end
'Cause I've been tryin' hard enough to be a better friend
I've tried, I've tried
But we're out of time
Deep in my heart, I know that it's over
Deleted your number so I can't call you
My brother, the way that we used to
When we were younger, younger
