**Chase It** I tried to start over With somebody new Told myself it was time Told myself I was due He was kind in the morning He was patient at night He said all the right things But they never felt right When he called me baby I heard your voice instead That accent in my memory Still living in my head And when he said my name It didn’t fall the same way Didn’t sound like a prayer Didn’t make me want to stay I tried to move on I tried to let go Took his hand in the street But it never felt like home He kissed me softly But I missed your mouth He touched my heart But you still had the house Every step, every start Every almost, every end I keep looking for you In the body of another man And I hate that I compare But I know what I knew I was trying to love him While still loving you He held my hand gently But not like you did Not like I was something He was scared he could miss He kissed my neck slowly But I closed my eyes And all I could feel Was another goodbye He laughed at my stories He learned all my songs But he didn’t know the places Where my soul had gone wrong And I wanted to want him I swear that I tried But some loves are mirrors And some just stand by I tried to move on I tried to be new But every little moment Kept leading back to you His arms were around me But yours were in my mind I was sleeping beside him Still dreaming of our time Every step, every start Every almost, every end I keep looking for you In the body of another man And I hate that I compare But I know what I knew I was trying to love him While still loving you Maybe I’m not broken Maybe I’m just clear Maybe love like that Doesn’t disappear Maybe I was running From what I still know That the heart doesn’t heal By pretending it’s home I know what I’m worth I know what I bring I know I deserve The real, reckless thing Not halfway affection Not almost enough Not a quiet replacement For unforgettable love So if I want this love I better stop waiting If it still calls my name I better go chase it If my heart knows the truth Then I owe it the fight I won’t lose myself Just to look like I’m fine Every step, every start Every almost, every end I was looking for you In the body of another man But now I see it clearly I know what I knew I don’t want a shadow I want something true I know my value I know I’m worth the risk And if I want this love Then I better go chase it If I want this love Then I better go chase it
