My Love

Once upon a time

Searching for love where it could never be found

I put my rose-coloured glasses on and wrote you a love song

I clung to the dream even as I watched the story fade

I cried myself to sleep each night

Longing to hear words you'd never say

I was so scared that if I left you wouldn't follow

Deep down I knew the truth

Indeed, your heart was hollow

Would this be our love story

Time would tell I believed

Could this really be a love story

My heart whispered yes if you leave

The choice, you made it easy

I walked away weak and ashamed

Pieces of me shattered will never be the same

I have put my glasses down

And now I stand here tall

I've breathed my soul together

And am grateful for it all

Would this be our love story

Time would tell I believed

Could this really be a love story

My heart whispered yes if you leave

This wasn't our love story

The way I thought it would be

I shake my head in wonder

My love, it turns out, was for me

This wasn't our love story

The way I thought it would be

I shake my head in wonder

My love, it turns out, was for me
