Maybe Love Isn't A Straight Line

[Verse 1] You were the first one who made it feel real Kindness and laughter and something that healed My missing piece wrapped in the best kind of friend I thought that was it, thought we'd never end [Pre-Chorus] But you saw me true and it scared you away And I spent years trying to find my way In every face, every kiss, even in the pain Looking for you like I'd never be the same [Chorus] Maybe love isn't a straight line Maybe it's allowed to end on time Maybe the ones who taught me how to feel Don't have to stay to make the love real You were the one who taught me how to fly You were the one who made our love feel alive [Verse 2] We had adventures, God we had the laughs Best friends in love, I'd have given it all For one more moment, one more hand to hold But you ran scared when you saw my soul [Pre-Chorus] And I don't blame you, I was running too We were real but we were also bruised It took me years to find the ground again Years to stop looking for you in another hand [Chorus] Maybe love isn't a straight line Maybe it's allowed to end on time Maybe the ones who taught me how to feel Don't have to stay to make the love real You were the one who taught me how to fly You were the one who made our love feel alive BRIDGE And now there's someone With your kindness but his own heartbeat Someone who isn't running Someone who's ready, who sees me deep And I'm scared Because this feels like you but grown This feels like everything I've always known Like finally coming home [Final Chorus] Maybe love isn't a straight line Maybe it took losing you to find The version of me who knows her worth Who knows what she deserves You set the bar and I carried it through In every heartbreak, every almost you And now I'm standing at the door of something true Still trembling But I'm walking through [Instrumental] [Outro] Thank you for the love Thank you for the leavin Thank you for the years it took To get me here, Finally believing
