I Thought This Was Love

Verse 1 I been goin’ over nights we had Tryin’ to see what I missed How somethin’ that felt so real Ends up feelin’ like this You were layin’ right beside me But I don’t think you were there I just didn’t notice it ’Cause I didn’t wanna care ⸻ Verse 2 We said things we didn’t mean But we said ’em anyway Like if we kept talkin’ long enough We could make it stay I kept callin’ it forever You kept callin’ it a phase Guess we weren’t even livin’ In the same kind of place ⸻ Chorus I thought this was love Guess I got it wrong Thought if I held on tight enough It’d hold on just as strong I thought this was somethin’ You don’t walk away from But lookin’ back now I thought this was love ⸻ Verse 3 There were signs I didn’t see Or I chose to ignore Like the way you’d look past me Like you weren’t sure anymore And I kept makin’ excuses For the way it all felt Like maybe if I tried harder I could fix it myself ⸻ Chorus I thought this was love Guess I got it wrong Thought if I stayed a little longer We’d end up where we belong I thought this was somethin’ That don’t just come undone But lookin’ back now I thought this was love ⸻ Bridge (simple, honest) Maybe it was somethin’ Just not what I thought Maybe I was chasin’ Somethin’ you were not ⸻ Final Chorus (softer, more accepting) I thought this was love But I can see it now It was just me holdin’ on And not knowin’ how I thought this was somethin’ That I couldn’t lose But it was gone long before I had proof ⸻ Outro Yeah, I thought this was love… Guess I just didn’t know
