Verse 1

For almost twenty years, we were the best of friends

I always wanted you, but you said I was too wild back then

So we stayed just friends, kept it cool, played our part

But I swear you always had my heart

Pre-Chorus

Then I changed my ways, slowed my roll

Stopped goin’ out, tried to feed your soul

Became the one you said you’d need

Then you looked my way, finally saw me

Chorus

When you asked me to be your wife

That was the best day of my life

But somehow the light turned cold

Love faded fast, and you let go

I wanted forever, you walked away

Now I’m livin’ with this empty space

I ain’t been the same, not one bit

I’ve been broken since we split

Verse 2

You used to hold me like I was your world

Said I was your peace, your one, your girl

But the spark burned out, you turned so strange

Guess time don’t heal when people change

Pre-Chorus

All those nights I cried alone

Waitin’ on your love to bring me home

But home don’t feel like home no more

When the one you love walks out the door

Chorus

When you asked me to be your wife

That was the best day of my life

But somehow the light turned cold

Love faded fast, and you let go

I wanted forever, you walked away

Now I’m livin’ with this empty space

I ain’t been the same, not one bit

I’ve been broken since we split

Bridge

Maybe we were meant to love and learn

Not every flame was made to burn

But I still dream of what we had

Even though it hurts so bad

Final Chorus

When you asked me to be your wife

Felt like heaven in my life

Now I’m just a ghost in our old home

Tryin’ to find a way to move on

I wanted forever, you walked away

Now I’m livin’ with this empty space

I ain’t been the same, not one bit

I’ve been broken since we split
