What everyone's talking about
I'm scared to hear it

Since we broke up
things with our mutual friends
have changed
If your name comes up
what will I do
"Seems they're doing well"
I don't want to hear that

So I keep avoiding meeting up
pretending I'm not free
turning down the invitations
I don't want to lose my friends

ChorusTalk of you scares me
"They got a girlfriend" or
"In a new place
they're working hard" or
if I heard that
I couldn't stay calm
Though my friends did nothing wrong
little by little we drift apart

The breakup wasn't a problem
just for the two of us
I lost a lover
and time with friends, too,
I lost
My world
grows narrower little by little

In a place without you
will I ever be able to laugh?
Until that day
wait just a little longer

Talk of you scares me
"They seem happy"—
if I'm told that
I feel like I'll crumble
Though my friends did nothing wrong
little by little we drift apart
What the breakup took from me
is too much

Every time I meet everyone
talk of you comes up
in that moment I freeze
I want to avoid it
but I can't
There's nowhere to escape

Talk of you scares me
I want you to be happy
but I don't want to hear it
I'm contradicting myself, I know
Though my friends did nothing wrong
little by little we drift apart
In a place without you
until I can breathe
I want a little more time
