Verse 1)
You still live in the cracks of this old house
In the way the rain hits when the sun burns out
Every road in this town still says your name
And every drink tastes different since you walked away
I still sleep on your side when the nights get cold
Still hear your laugh in the silence low
Funny how love can leave without a sound
But somehow shake the whole world down
(Pre-Chorus)
And I know
People heal, people move, people let things go
But your shadow fits everywhere I go
(Chorus)
’Cause loving you was like fire in the dark
Warm enough to save me, wild enough to scar
Now I carry every memory like a loaded gun
A heart full of smoke after burning for someone
And if souls really meet somewhere after life
I hope you find me in another sky
’Cause nobody told me forever could end
But I’d still choose you all over again
(Verse 2)
There’s a photo of us that I can’t throw out
You were dancing barefoot, singing way too loud
Back when forever felt easy to say
Before forever became yesterday
I’ve kissed new lips but it never feels real
Some wounds fade, some just learn to conceal
And every “I’m okay” I ever said
Was just me learning how to live half-dead
(Pre-Chorus)
Still I pray
That somewhere you remember my name
The way I remember you every day
(Chorus)
’Cause loving you was like fire in the dark
Warm enough to save me, wild enough to scar
Now I carry every memory like a loaded gun
A heart full of smoke after burning for someone
And if souls really meet somewhere after life
I hope you find me in another sky
’Cause nobody told me forever could end
But I’d still choose you all over again
(Bridge)
Maybe real love ain’t about staying
Maybe it’s about who changes you
Who leaves pieces of themselves behind
In everything you do
And maybe losing you
Was the closest thing to truth
’Cause nothing ever hurt me
As honestly as you
(Final Chorus)
Yeah loving you was like heaven with a cost
I found myself the same night I got lost
And even now with all this pain undone
I thank God I got to love someone
And if you hear this somewhere far tonight
Know I still look for you in city lights
Some people leave, but never really end
And I’d still choose you all over again.
