I thought it was you...
How many times did we need to see
That I wasn't for you, and you not for me?
Too much behind us, HAUNTING our past
No matter the effort, we couldn't make it last
I thought it was you...
Now I'm left all alone
In the shell of what was supposed to be our home
What am I supposed to do?
Go on and build a whole new life without you?
I thought it was you...
Why did you run all of those times before?
All you had to do was try just a little bit more...
Wasn't I what you wanted, your dream, enough?
Apparently that's not true - things wouldn't have been so tough
I thought it was you...
So now, I'm supposed to honorably walk away
And find the man I'm meant to marry one day...
On that day we will finally wake up to see
A world of me without you, and you without me
I thought it was you...
Until that day comes I'll spend most of my time
Putting things back together like a well planned out rhyme
Manipulating the pieces so that they fit together just right
Dreaming of the man who will come and hold me at night
I thought he was you...
I know this man is out there waiting for me
Patience and timing have always been key
When it's our time, he'll show his face
And hold me in love's long lasting embrace
I know he's not you...
Then will come a day when I'll be able to say your name
Without feeling like I'm going absolutely insane.
Your spot in my heart will never be replaced,
The years spent with you cannot be erased.
He is not you...
I thought it would be you.
My love and feelings were so very true,
But sometimes love just isn't enough
So now it's time to truly be tough
He was never supposed to be you...
...close the door, nail.it.shut.
say goodbye no matter what.
