[Intro] [Verse 1] I got good at making room for you, Even when it meant I disappeared. Called it love when I was compromising Everything I needed you to hear. I kept moving every boundary, Just to keep you standing next to me. Funny how I thought that holding on Was what was keeping me from breaking. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know the moment I stopped recognizing The woman in the mirror Who kept saying she was fine. [Chorus] For so long, there was only us, Every road led back to you. I forgot I had a life to live, Forgot I had dreams there too. Never knew how far I’d disappeared, Till I had to stand alone. Spent my whole life building us a home, Never built one of my own. [Verse 2] I started doing things without permission, Making choices for myself this time. Found out silence wasn’t always lonely, Once the music filled my life. Started saying what I meant out loud, Stopped rehearsing every word I’d say. Found the confidence I’d gone without, Didn’t need your voice to lead the way. [Hook] I don’t need to know the ending, Don’t need every step laid out. All I know is staying where I’ve been Isn’t what life is all about. I can’t spend what’s left of forever Wondering what I might have missed. If I’ve only got one life to live, I wanna know what living is. Loving you wasn’t the problem, Losing myself was. I’d gotten so used to just existing, I’d forgotten what living was. I made your dreams my destination, Put mine somewhere out of sight. Till something in me finally whispered, You still get to have a life. I didn’t know what I was looking for, Just knew I couldn’t stay the same. Started chasing things that moved me, Found the courage to make a change. Somewhere between the fear and freedom, I quit asking who I should be. There wasn’t some new woman waiting, There was always more to me. I don’t need to change the ending Just to make the story right. Some loves don’t belong forever, Still they stay with us for life. I can miss what once was beautiful Without wanting it all back. What we had can still have mattered, Even though it couldn’t last. If I’ve only got one life to live… I wanna know what living is.
