[Intro] The rain was falling that night You stood there by the door I knew you were leaving But I still asked you to stay [Verse 1] You had your suitcase in your hand And tears hiding in your eyes I reached for you like a foolish man Still hoping you'd change your mind You said, "Sometimes love ain't enough" Those words cut deeper than you knew I tried to tell you I'd become a better man But you were already halfway through I watched your shadow disappear Down that old familiar street And when the door finally closed behind you The silence sounded like defeat [Pre-Chorus] I told myself I'd be alright I told myself I'd carry on But every morning without you Felt like another night alone [Hook] I never stopped loving you Not for a single day I learned to live without you But I never learned to let you fade I never stopped loving you Though you're so far away Some hearts keep beating For a love they couldn't save [Verse 2] I kept your picture in the drawer Where nobody could see Sometimes I'd take it out at night And wonder if you thought of me I heard your favorite song downtown And Lord, I almost called your name Funny how one little melody Can bring back everything The years went by, the world moved on I even learned to smile again But every woman that I met Was never you in the end And I don't blame you for leaving Maybe I was hard to love I just wish I'd understood your heart Before I'd lost the one I loved [Pre-Chorus] I told myself I'd be alright I told myself I'd carry on But every morning without you Still feels like another night alone [Hook] I never stopped loving you Not for a single day I learned to live without you But I never learned to let you fade I never stopped loving you Though you're so far away Some hearts keep beating For a love they couldn't save [Verse 3] Last Sunday I saw you downtown You were walking with someone new You looked happy, and I swear to God That's all I ever wanted for you You didn't see me standing there Maybe that was for the best 'Cause if you had looked into my eyes You would've known what I confessed I would've told you I still remember The way you laughed when we were young The way you held me in the darkness The way you said I'd be your one But some stories don't get endings Some roads don't lead back home And sometimes loving someone Means learning how to let them go [Bridge] If you ever hear this song And wonder where I've been I never found another love That felt like ours back then And if you ever miss me When the night gets cold and blue Just know somewhere in this world There's still a heart that beats for you [Final Hook] I never stopped loving you Not for a single day I learned to live without you But I never learned to let you fade I never stopped loving you Though you're so far away Some hearts keep beating For a love they couldn't save [Outro] So goodbye, my darling... Wherever you are tonight... I hope somebody loves you The way I never learned to show you I could. I never stopped loving you... No... I never stopped.
