put you first just like you wanted

gave you me you took for granted

now here i am at twenty eight

all my friends i hardly know them

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're always there when i was falling

you promised me that you were all in

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 words 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

all the way to find me

cause they say time heals all wounds

but your words cut so deep

i guess i had to lose you

all the way to finding me

even though i loved you

wish i didn't have to leave

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
