Lyrics

I used to pray for your shadow at my door
Even when loving you started to feel like war
You were my home when the whole world turned cold
So I held on to us, even when my heart grew old
We buried dreams before we held them alive
I still hear silence from that hospital night
While I was bleeding, trying hard just to breathe
You were somewhere finding comfort that wasn’t me
And I stayed…
God knows I stayed
I begged for your arms
I begged for your time
I begged for the little things love should never deny
Till one day my tears
Stopped sounding the same
And the woman who loved you
Started forgetting her name
What will be, will be
Even if it breaks me slowly
Cause loving you shouldn’t cost my soul
And I can’t keep dying just to keep somebody close
What will be, will be
I choose me finally
And if you loved me, you would’ve stayed true
Now I’m learning how to live without you
Oh oh…
Without you…
 
You lost yourself and I carried the weight
Fed your hunger while mine learned to wait
I was your shelter when the storms got loud
But somehow I still loved you through every letdown
Five years engaged to promises in the air
Wearing hope like a ring that was never really there
Then one night your phone went silent again
And I knew in my chest how the story would end
Still…
I wanted it to be you
But love shouldn’t beg
Love shouldn’t chase
Love shouldn’t leave somebody empty while giving grace
Now you stand outside
Waiting for me to break
But I already buried the girl who stayed
 
What will be, will be
Even if it cuts too deep
Cause loving you turned my heart into war
And I can’t lose myself trying to love you anymore
What will be, will be
I choose peace finally
And even though part of me still loves you
I know walking away is the hardest truth
Oh oh…
The hardest truth…
 
Maybe in another life
You would’ve held me right
Maybe in another world
We would’ve healed instead of hurting
But this life taught me
Some people come as lessons
Not forever
And I forgive myself
For loving you too long
 
What will be, will be
Even if my heart still bleeds
Cause I gave you every part of me
And somehow it still was not enough to make you see
What will be, will be
Now I set myself free
And one day these scars won’t ache like they do
But tonight…
I still mourn losing you
 
I loved you honestly…
That’s enough for me.
