Put you first, just like you wanted

Gave you me, you took for granted

Now here I am at 28

All my friends, I hardly know 'em

I don't sing, 'cause you're still broken

I almost threw it all away

How did we go from movies on tuesdays

To all our memories packed in a suitcase?

Carried the weight for you for far too long

Even though I loved you, you know I had to leave

I guess I had to lose you on the way to finding me

'cause they say time heals all wounds, but your wounds cut so deep

I guess I had to lose you on the way to finding me

It was hard to be there for you

When my dreams kept falling short, and

You were the only thing I knew

You were always there when I was falling

You promised me that you were holding

I made you everything and nothing, all at once

'cause even though I loved you, you know I had to leave

I guess I had to lose you on the way to finding me

'cause they say time heals all wounds, but your wounds cut so deep

I guess I had to lose you on the way to finding me

Yeah, I love you more than I love myself

And I hate that there is nobody else

Yeah, I love you more than I love myself

And I hate that there is nobody

'cause even though I loved you, you know I had to leave

I guess I had to lose you on the way to finding me

'cause they say time heals all wounds, but your wounds cut so deep

I guess I had to lose you on the way to finding me

Even though I loved you, wish I didn't have to leave

I still just wanna hold you as you fall asleep

And I hope it all works out, and you find everything you need

I guess I had to lose you on the way to finding me
