I heard your voice in my head again Saying things you never said back then Funny how time gives words to you When I’m the one who made it through You call me now like nothing’s changed Like love don’t carry any pain Like I could just step back inside The place where I was left behind Don’t you know I gave you everything seven years of my life, my dreams I was your shelter, I was your home But I was standing there alone And now you say you’re sorry Now you say you see Everything you couldn’t be When you were here with me But where was that love When I was breaking down Where was that care When you let me drown I needed you then Not after the fall You don’t get to fix it now You don’t get me at all I won’t lie, a part of me still aches Still remembers every word you’d say Still feels your hand in mine at night Still misses what we got right But love shouldn’t feel like sacrifice Shouldn’t cost me all my peace inside And I paid that price for way too long Just to keep holding on And now you say you’re sorry But sorry can’t rewind All the nights I cried alone Trying to change your mind You had me You had my heart, my soul, my trust But that wasn’t enough for you So now it’s too much I found my strength in the leaving Found my voice in goodbye And I won’t lose myself again Just to keep you in my life You don’t get to be my home now I built one on my own And it may not look like forever But at least it’s finally whole So keep your apology Keep your “what could be” I’m not the woman you remember I’m the one who chose me And that’s something You’ll never take from me
