Was I Ever Really Home?

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Three years of loving you, Three years of holding on. I thought we'd have forever, Never thought you'd be gone. I was there through every storm, I was there through every tear. When the world was falling down, I was always standing here. You told me never to lie, And I gave you only truth. Said if I found somebody else, I'd have to tell you. But I never wanted someone new, I only ever wanted you. [Pre-Chorus] I felt you drifting away, Felt the silence growing strong. But I never saw this coming, Never knew what was wrong. [Chorus] How do I let you go, When you're all I've ever known? How do I stop loving you, When you're still the one I want? I gave you all my heart, You were everything to me. Now you're married to somebody, And I'm left with broken dreams. I don't know how to hate you, Don't know how to say goodbye. I still wake up wanting you, With tears I cannot hide. And even though you've broken me, Even after all we've been through, If you ever need somebody, I'll still be here for you. [Verse 2] I wanted all your mornings, I wanted all your nights. Wanted every little moment, Wanted you for life. I tried to make you happy, Tried to love you right. Even when we felt so distant, I was willing to fight. I thought that we were forever, Thought our love would see us through. While I was dreaming of our future, You had a life I never knew. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I should've seen the signs, Maybe I was holding on too tight. But I never thought the truth Would break my heart tonight. [Chorus] How do I let you go, When you're all I've ever known? How do I stop loving you, When you're still the one I want? I gave you all my heart, You were everything to me. Now you're married to somebody, And I'm left with broken dreams. I don't know how to hate you, Don't know how to say goodbye. I still wake up wanting you, With tears I cannot hide. And even though you've broken me, Even after all we've been through, If you ever need somebody, I'll still be here for you. [Bridge – Soft, emotional] Was I ever your forever? Was I ever really home? Did you know how much I loved you, While I was holding on alone? I would've given you a lifetime, I would've given you my name. And even knowing what I know now, My heart still feels the same. [Final Chorus – Bigger, emotional] How do I let you go, When my heart still calls you mine? How do I walk away, From the love I thought was mine? Three years of loving you, And I'd have loved you all my life. I thought I'd be your forever, Never knew you were his wife. I don't know how to hate you, And I don't know how to move on. I don't know how to face a world, Where you and I are gone. And even though you've broken me, There's one thing that's still true. If you ever need somebody, I'll still be here for you. [Outro – Quiet piano] You told me never to lie, So here's the truth from me... I never wanted anybody else, You were all I'd ever need. Three years wasn't forever, But forever's what I'd choose... And even with a broken heart, A part of me still chooses you.
