There Was You

There were shortcuts, there were forks in the road

There was twenty-twenty vision, but not when I needed it most

There was long nights and some shade no kid should have to go through

And between all of that, oh, there was you, there was you

There was whiplash, there was optimistic liquor

There was sick to my stomach, unrelated to my liver

There were good times in the middle of what I wish I could undo

And between all of that, oh, there was you, there was you

And now it's all on me

It's not what you want

It'll be seen on my tombstone, but not heard from my tongue

That I love you, and I will until I am undone

There were highlights, there was June, there was summer

There was me and my pride which meant you were outnumbered

There was somethin', which means there was everything to lose

And between all of that, oh, there was you, there was you

Now it's all on me

It's not what you want

It'll be seen on my tombstone, but not heard from my tongue

That I love you, and I will until I am undone

There was change, there was a difference in your smile

There was I miss you so much where there used to be goodbye

And you were happy, the only distinction I could see

Was that between all of that there once was and wasn't me
