[Verse 1]
I stayed up late, counting the nights
Thinking if I tried, I could make it right
Every word, every kiss, I held on tight
But you were gone, slipping out of sight
I gave my heart, I gave my all
But your silence built a wall
I kept believing, I kept the flame
But nothing stays when it’s not the same
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought if I loved you enough, you’d see
But love can’t survive if it’s not meant to be
[Chorus]
I wasted my emotions
Chasing a love that slipped away
I gave you all my heart
But you let it fade to gray
I held on to the pieces
Hoping you’d come back someday
I wasted my emotions
Trying to make you stay
[Verse 2]
I walk the streets we used to know
Memories linger, but you let them go
I hear your laugh in every song
But loving you this way is all wrong
I dreamed of us, building a life
But dreams alone don’t stop the strife
I gave my days, I gave my nights
For a love that vanished out of sight
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought if I loved you enough, you’d see
But love can’t survive if it’s not meant to be
[Chorus]
I wasted my emotions
Chasing a love that slipped away
I gave you all my heart
But you let it fade to gray
I held on to the pieces
Hoping you’d come back someday
I wasted my emotions
Trying to make you stay
[Bridge]
Now I’m letting go, though it hurts inside
No more chasing shadows, no need to hide
I’ll heal my heart, find my own way
Learn to live without yesterday
[Chorus – Repeat, Build Emotion]
I wasted my emotions
Chasing a love that slipped away
I gave you all my heart
But you let it fade to gray
I held on to the pieces
Hoping you’d come back someday
I wasted my emotions
Trying to make you stay
[Outro – Soft, Emotional]
I wasted… my emotions
Trying… trying to hold on
But now I see, I have to move
Even if it breaks me too
