You were my world

Verse 1
You were the sunrise I would wait to see,
The only place that ever felt like home to me.
I gave you every dream, every piece of my heart,
Never thought we'd end where we are.

I painted forever with the colours of your name,
Believing love would always stay the same.
But somewhere between your words and your silence,
I slowly disappeared.

Pre-Chorus
I stopped hearing my own voice,
Trying to be everything you wanted.
I smiled through tears you never noticed,
Calling it love...

Chorus
'Cause you were my world, my everything,
The reason behind every song I'd sing.
But our forever started fading away,
The day I forgot my own name.

You made me choose between your happiness and mine,
So I kept breaking just to see you shine.
I lost myself trying to hold your hand,
Until I couldn't recognize who I am.
You were my world...
But I forgot to be mine.

Verse 2
You never asked me to leave myself behind,
But somehow I did it every single time.
Changing my heart to fit your dreams,
Ignoring every crack at the seams.

I became someone I couldn't see,
A stranger staring back at me.
Love shouldn't ask you to disappear,
Yet that's exactly what happened here.

Bridge
Maybe loving you wasn't the mistake,
Maybe losing myself was.
Because real love doesn't make you smaller,
It reminds you who you are.

So I'm gathering the pieces,
Learning how to breathe again.
Finding the girl I left behind,
And calling her home.

Final Chorus
You were my world, my everything,
But the stars don't shine around one dream.
Now I'm choosing the life I couldn't see,
Choosing the girl I used to be.

I'll never choose someone else's happiness,
At the cost of losing my own.
If love means forgetting who I am,
Then I'd rather walk alone.

You were my world...
But now I'm finding mine.

Outro
I loved you with all I had.
Now it's time...
To love myself that way too.
