The Life We Never Had

Verse 1 I still see your shadow in the morning light, Still hear your laughter when the world is quiet. Your picture's fading from the frame on my wall, But the memories refuse to fall. I gave you every piece of who I was, Believed forever was enough for us. Now I'm standing where our future used to be, Holding on to what will never be. Pre-Chorus And I keep asking all the stars above, How can a heart survive its greatest love? Chorus 'Cause you were the life I thought I'd live, The dream I never had to give. You were my home, my safe place in the storm, Now I'm lost without your warmth. And every road I walk alone Leads me back to what is gone. You took a piece of me when you said goodbye, And I'm still learning how to survive. Verse 2 I remember promises beneath the moon, Talking about forever coming soon. Now forever feels like just another word, A silent echo never heard. I try to smile, I try to move ahead, But your name still lives inside my head. Some wounds heal and disappear with time, But losing you still breaks this heart of mine. Pre-Chorus And every night I close my eyes to see, The person I believed was meant for me. Chorus 'Cause you were the life I thought I'd live, The dream I never had to give. You were my home, my safe place in the storm, Now I'm lost without your warmth. And every road I walk alone Leads me back to what is gone. You took a piece of me when you said goodbye, And I'm still learning how to survive. Bridge Maybe someday I will understand, Why love can slip right through your hands. Maybe someday I won't feel this pain, When I hear somebody say your name. But tonight the rain keeps falling down, And all I hear is the sound Of a heart that never wanted to let go, Of a love that still won't let me go. Final Chorus You were the life I thought I'd live, The future I had built within. Though you're gone, your memory remains, Like sunlight shining through the rain. And if you ever think of me, I hope you know you'll always be The greatest love I've ever known in life, Even after our goodbye. Outro I loved you then... I love you still... And somewhere deep inside, I always will.
