(Verse 1)

D
I remember how you laughed in the morning light
G
Coffee in your hand, hair falling just right
D
I swore to God I’d never need another thing
A
You were my reason, you were 

(Verse 2)
D
We talked about forever like it couldn’t fade
G
Built our little world in the plans we made
Em
I put my faith in every word you’d say
A
Never thought your love could walk away

(Chorus) 

G
And I thought you were all I’d ever need
A
Every breath, every prayer, every dream in me
D
But time has a way of setting things free
Bm
Now I see…

G
You weren’t everything
A
You weren’t everything
D
No… you weren’t everything

(Verse 3)
D
Now the silence hums where your voice would be
G
And the nights feel longer than they used to be
D
But there’s a strange kind of peace I’ve come to know
A
In letting go of what I couldn’t hold

(Bridge)

Em
Maybe I was looking through a hopeful heart
A
Seeing only light, missing all the dark
D
Maybe love ain’t meant to be that way
Bm
Maybe it’s not meant to stay

G
I thought you were all I’d ever need
A
Every breath, every prayer, every dream in me
D
But losing you showed a different side of me
Bm
Now I see…

(Final Chorus)
G
You weren’t everything
A
You weren’t everything
D
No… you weren’t everything

(Outro (very soft, almost spoken)

D
No… you weren’t everything
G
Just the world I couldn’t see beyond
D
Now I’m walking on my own again
A → D
And I’m learning… I’m not alone
