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 '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 find a 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 find a me
It was hard to be there for you
When my dreams kept fallin' short, and
You were the only thing I knew
You were always there when I was fallin'
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 find a 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 find a 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 find a 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 find a 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 find a me
