Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I still remember summer nights at fifteen Chasing something we didn’t understand You were chaos wrapped in a daydream I was just a boy with a plan We said forever like we meant it Like time was something we could bend I spent years trying to chase it You were never mine to hold in the end I finally understand what you were meant to be in my life I finally understand what you were meant to be in my life I finally understand what you were meant to be in my life ⸻ Pre-Chorus And I’ve made peace with the silence Where your voice used to be But some ghosts don’t need haunting They just live quietly ⸻ Chorus You’ll always be the one I grew from The first name my heart ever knew Not the one I get to grow old with But the one that showed me how to And I can love someone better In a way that’s steady and true But a part of me stays with you Yeah, a part of me stays with you I finally understand what you were meant to be in my life I finally understand what you were meant to be in my life I finally understand what you were meant to be in my life ⸻ Verse 2 Life hit you in ways I can’t fathom Broke pieces I couldn’t repair I tried to be something you leaned on But you were already lost somewhere And I see now love ain’t saving It’s not fixing what’s already gone Sometimes it’s just understanding Why you had to move on ⸻ Pre-Chorus And I don’t hate how it ended Even if it still stings ‘Cause loving you taught me What love really means ⸻ Chorus You’ll always be the one I grew from The first fire I couldn’t outrun Not the one I get to come home to But the one that made me someone And I can build something stronger With a heart that’s finally new But a part of me stays with you Yeah, a part of me stays with you I finally understand what you were meant to be in my life I finally understand what you were meant to be in my life I finally understand what you were meant to be in my life ⸻ Bridge Maybe first love never leaves you It just learns to let you go Turns into a quiet memory Instead of something you still hold And I don’t need you like I used to But I won’t pretend it’s gone You were never meant to be forever But you’ll always be where I’m from ⸻ Final Chorus (Soft / Stripped) You’ll always be the one I grew from Even if we never made it through And I’ll love someone in the daylight The way I couldn’t love you But in the quiet, in the echoes In the things I can’t undo There’s a part of me… That’ll always love you Always love you Always love you Always love you I finally understand what you were meant to be in my life I finally understand what you were meant to be in my life I finally understand what you were meant to be in my life
