Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I remember waking up beside you,
Two hearts with nowhere to run,
You believed in every crazy thing I dreamed,
And I believed in everything you’d become.
We didn’t have a lot, but we had each other,
And somehow that was more than enough,
I would kiss you goodbye and head out working,
Because your love made the hard days worth the rough.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every hour, every mile,
Every sacrifice was worth your smile,
I wasn’t chasing gold or some perfect life,
I was building us a place to survive.
[Chorus]
You were the reason I kept going,
The reason I got up and faced the day,
You were the fire underneath me,
When I was tired, you made me find a way.
I thought I was working for tomorrow,
Thought I was strong because I knew what we were,
Now I see what I couldn’t see:
I was building it with her.
[Verse 2]
I remember groceries on the counter,
Rent due, and another long week,
Coming home exhausted from the job,
Still finding enough in me to make you laugh and speak.
You had dreams and I wanted to see them,
I had mine and you carried them too,
We were two people pushing each other forward,
Making promises we thought we’d make come true.
[Chorus]
You were the reason I kept going,
The reason I got up and faced the day,
You were the fire underneath me,
When I was tired, you made me find a way.
I thought I was working for tomorrow,
Thought I was strong because I knew what we were,
Now I see what I couldn’t see:
I was building it with her.
[Bridge]
And I wish I could go back,
Find the crack and make it whole,
Say the things I couldn’t say,
Hold on before you let me go.
But I hear you’re happier now,
And part of me is glad that’s true,
Even if the life you’re living
Is a life that doesn’t need me too.
I can’t call it all a failure,
Just because it had to end,
For a little while, I knew what it meant
To have a home inside another person.
[Verse 3]
Now the mornings feel much colder,
No alarm, no place I have to be,
No paycheck waiting Friday,
No one waiting up for me.
I tell myself to find a reason,
But the old one disappeared,
And without you, even getting through the day
Can feel like carrying a year.
[Final Chorus]
You were the reason I kept going,
But you were never meant to be my only flame,
I gave you all the strength I had,
And somewhere I forgot my own name.
Maybe losing you is not the ending,
Maybe this is where I learn to start,
To build a life that doesn’t need somebody else
To convince me I am worth the fight.
You were the reason I came alive,
And I will always be grateful that you were,
But if I ever find that light again,
I want it to come from me,
Not just from her.
[Outro]
So here’s to what we had,
And here’s to letting go,
Here’s to finding something in myself
That I didn’t know I could hold.
I miss you, and I won’t pretend I don’t,
But I hope someday I understand:
You were the love that gave me purpose,
Now I have to learn to be my own reason to stand.
