When everybody walked away I was the one who chose to stay I held you through your darkest nights And loved you when you lost your light I gave you everything I could And stayed much longer than I should I kept believing we were two While I was losing me in you I never needed perfect love Just someone who would choose me too I gave you all the best of me And asked for honesty from you I can miss you and not call I can love you and still leave I can wish you all the happiness You couldn't give to me And even if my heart still breaks I know what I have to do I can miss you And not come back to you I made myself so small for you Afraid of what I'd have to lose I learned to smile through all the pain And hoped that things would change someday You never saw the nights I cried Or all the things I kept inside I only wanted you to care To feel you wanted me right there I wasn't asking for the stars Or promises that wouldn't last I only wanted something real A love that didn't leave me last I can miss you and not call I can love you and still leave I can wish you all the happiness You couldn't give to me And even if my heart still breaks I know what I have to do I can miss you And not come back to you Or every time I chose to stay But I regret the part of me I lost along the way And I don't need to see you hurt To know that I deserve some peace I hope you find the love you want But now I have to choose me I can still remember us And everything we dreamed we'd be But loving you was never wrong Forgetting me was hurting me I can miss you and not call I can love you and still leave I can wish you all the happiness And want the same for me And even if my heart still breaks I'm finally learning what is true I can miss you And not come back to you I meant it when I said I loved you I mean it when I say goodbye I can miss you And still choose me
