Only a Footnote

Verse 1
The day that I met you
I had no idea
Just how hard it would be to someday say goodbye.

I remember when you called me
Because your world fell apart,
And somehow your broken heart also broke mine. 

But tears turned to laughter
As the night moved along,
And by the time I finally left, 
my heart was already gone

And that night I knew  
I only wanted you to be happy 
Whatever that meant, but honestly, 

I hoped it meant you and me

Chorus:
But sometimes life isn’t always what you think it should be. 
And sometimes you’re only a foot note in someone’s memory. 
Sometimes love last forever, but sometimes   It don’t. 
Sometime love looks like holding on, but sometimes it looks like letting go.

Verse 2:
You became my best friend
But that’s all you saw
Was it my heart or my pride that made me give you more

It felt like eternity 
As I watched you look past me
So you could find what it was you were looking for

I was caught up in fighting 
for something that didn’t exist 
Patience was never the problem 
I already knew what I couldn’t admit

There was only so long
I could keep up the hope
But the heart wants what it wants
And you can’t make it want what it don’t 

Chorus:
Because sometimes life isn’t always what you think it should be. 
And sometimes you find you’re only a foot note in someone’s memory. 
Sometimes love last forever, but sometimes   It don’t. 
Sometime love looks like holding on, but sometimes it looks like letting go.

Bridge:
When I realized I’d never be the one
I had to walk away 
I wasn’t mad, I wasn’t hurt
I just felt so deeply for you, that I couldn’t stay 

I still think about you 
every now and again 
And wherever you are, 
I hope you found everything you ever wanted 

And even though 
You and me would never be 
You’re still one of my favorite memories 

Yeah

Chorus:
Sometimes life isn’t always what you think it should be. 
And sometimes you find you’re only a foot note in someone’s memory. 
Sometimes love last forever, but sometimes   It don’t. 
Sometime love looks like holding on, but sometimes it looks like letting go.
