Lyrics
(Verse 1)
You used to show me
You really cared
You said you knew me
But you weren't there
Now I'm all alone with the words we never shared
(Verse 2)
You smiled easy
When love felt strong
Said you'd need me
Then you were gone
Love sounds different when it lasts too long
(Chorus 1)
If you ever loved me once
Just say it...
What you waiting for?
All the love we built
Fell away
(Chorus 2)
I kept holding onto us
Believing...
We could still restore
Everything we lost
That day
(Verse 3)
You spoke softly
About our life
Then walked away
Without goodbye
Truth cuts deeper when it's the love you hide
(Chorus 3)
If you ever loved me once
Just say it...
What you waiting for?
Every "forever" that you said
Was fake
(Chorus 4)
Now I see the truth in us
Clearly...
There's nothing left to save
All the love we knew
Has changed
(Bridge -- 4 bars)
When the lights go out
And the room is quiet
Your shadow still
Sits beside me
That's where you live
Inside my chest
(Final Chorus)
If you ever think of us
Someday...
In the quiet night
Did you ever truly feel
Alright?
If you ever see my face
Someday...
or In another life
Would you look at me the same
Tonight?
(Outro)
I thought you really cared
(I thought you really cared)
I thought you really cared
(I thought you really cared)
(Fade)
