[Verse 1]
I took your number out my phone
Put your shirt back in the drawer
But your laugh still lives in this old house
Like boots by the back door
I tried on someone new for size
Thought my heart might let me go
But every road I travel on
Still leads back to you, I know
[Pre-Chorus]
We said goodbye, but not for good
Some things don’t fade like they should
And I can’t lie, I still believe
You were the best part of me
[Chorus]
Dave, you’re my one true love
My one true love
Even if we never get back together
Dave, you’re my one true love
My one true love
I’ll carry you with me forever
(I’ll carry you with me forever)
[Verse 2]
I don’t chase you down no more
I don’t knock on your front door
But when October hits that porch
I feel you in the screen-door creak
And if your name comes up at church
I can smile and keep it light
‘Cause loving you was never small
It just changed shape with time
[Pre-Chorus]
We built a home out of the rain
Then watched the sky just split again
Still, if you asked, I’d tell the truth
You hold a piece I can’t undo
[Chorus]
Dave, you’re my one true love
My one true love
Even if we never get back together
Dave, you’re my one true love
My one true love
I’ll carry you with me forever
(I’ll carry you with me forever)
[Bridge]
Maybe we were meant to end
But not to ever break apart
Some loves don’t stay in the same house
They just keep living in your heart
So if you find another hand
And if I do the same someday
I’ll still know the shape of us
And I’ll still say your name
[Chorus]
Dave, you’re my one true love
My one true love
Even if we never get back together
Dave, you’re my one true love
My one true love
I’ll carry you with me forever
(I’ll carry you with me forever)
[Outro]
Yeah, I’ll carry you with me forever
Dave, my one true love
