Three Years on a Tuesday

Lyrics

Verse 1 Skye, I still remember when you walked into my life, Never thought a stranger could feel so much like home. Three years of loving you, of standing by your side, I gave you every piece of me, I never held one back. We had our ups and downs, but I never walked away, Even when the nights got hard, I always chose to stay. I thought that we were building something time could never break, But now I’m sitting here wondering which memories were fake. Pre-Chorus I fought for us when things got rough, I swore that we were strong enough. But there’s one truth I never knew, And God, it hurts because it’s you. Chorus You were already someone else’s, While I was calling you mine. I was dreaming of forever, You were living another life. I gave you all my tomorrows, Every heartbeat, every prayer. How could you tell me that you loved me, When your vows were somewhere else? And the hardest part of losing you Is knowing what we had was real to me. I wasn’t just in love with you, Skye, You were my whole damn everything. Verse 2 Do you remember all those nights we stayed awake? Talking about forever and the promises we’d make. Every anniversary, every little song I’d write, Every time I said I loved you before we said goodnight. I stood beside your broken pieces, tried to make you whole, Loved the parts you tried to hide, the scars upon your soul. I never asked for perfect, I just needed something true, And after everything we’ve been through, I never thought I’d question you. Pre-Chorus 2 Was I the only one who dreamed? Was forever only real to me? I could’ve faced a thousand storms, But not the truth you kept from me. Chorus You were already someone else’s, While I was calling you mine. I was dreaming of forever, You were living another life. I gave you all my tomorrows, Every heartbeat, every prayer. How could you tell me that you loved me, When your vows were somewhere else? And the hardest part of losing you Is knowing what we had was real to me. I wasn’t just in love with you, Skye, You were my whole damn everything. Bridge — Soft piano, voice breaking Tell me, Skye, was I ever enough? Was there a moment when you really meant your love? When you said you missed me, did you mean those words? Or was I holding on to something that was never mine at first? I would’ve waited through the distance, I would’ve carried all your pain. I would’ve stood beside you, Through the sunshine and the rain. But how do I fight for someone When I don’t know where I stand? How do I keep holding on When you’re wearing someone else’s wedding band? And I hate that I still love you, After everything I know. Because my heart still calls you home, Even when I know I should let go. Final Chorus — Powerful, emotional You were already someone else’s, But I gave you all of me. I thought that we were writing Our own love story. Three years of laughs and tears, Three years of holding tight. Three years of saying “I love you,” And believing every night. I don’t know how to hate you, I don’t know how to say goodbye. I just know the man who loved you Is breaking down tonight. And if you ever wonder Whether my love was really true, Just remember I gave everything To a future I believed in with you. Outro — Whispered, fading piano Skye, I wasn’t asking for a perfect life, I wasn’t asking for a love without the rain. I just wanted honesty, Even if the truth brought pain. You were the woman I called my forever, The one I never wanted to lose. And after all these years of choosing you… I never thought I’d find out That someone else had already said, “I do.” And the saddest part of all, Skye… Even knowing what I know now, My heart still chooses you.
