Chorus:
We had it all, but we lost somehow
Promises fading, broken vows
We held hands, walked the aisle
Now I'm left with tears, forced to smile
Verse 1:
We were young and wild, hearts on fire
Dreamt of a life, lifting each other higher
You wore white, and I felt the pride
Now it's memories that I can't hide
Pre-Chorus:
Bottles on the floor, silence in the home
Love turned to war, and I'm left all alone
Chorus:
We had it all, but we lost somehow
Promises fading, broken vows
We held hands, walked the aisle
Now I'm left with tears, forced to smile
Verse 2:
Our little one, eyes shining bright
Innocence torn by every fight
I wanted to save us, tried my best
But demons of yours laid us to rest
Pre-Chorus:
Needles in the drawers, secrets we don't share
Love’s drained to a sore, how did we get there?
Chorus:
We had it all, but we lost somehow
Promises fading, broken vows
We held hands, walked the aisle
Now I'm left with tears, forced to smile
Bridge:
In another life, I'd save you from the pain
Hold you tight, shield you from the rain
But in this time, our world’s fallen apart
Struggles of mine, tearing at your heart
Chorus:
We had it all, but we lost somehow
Promises fading, broken vows
We held hands, walked the aisle
Now I'm left with tears, forced to smile
Outro:
Goodbye my love, though it hurts to stay
I’ll keep you both, in my heart every day
Broken dreams, whispers in the night
I loved you deeply, but we lost the fight
