We had a little white house picked out on that hill
You talked ‘bout babies, I just stood still
I was too scared of forever to see
That you were everything I’d ever need
You packed your bags, said you’d had enough
And I didn’t fight, I thought love was tough
But now it’s midnight, and I’m drunk and alone
Staring at pictures we used to call home
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna lose you, but I already did
You were my heaven, I was just a scared kid
I had the world and a woman so true
But I let my demons make me lie to you
Now I’m haunted by your ghost in every song I play
I don’t wanna lose you… but I lost you anyway
[Verse 2]
You used to dance barefoot in my old T-shirt
Now it’s folded in the drawer and it still hurts
I hear your voice in the morning rain
And feel you slip through my hands again
You believed in the man I could’ve been
And I threw it all away like a careless sin
Every “I love you” I never said
Plays on repeat in my broken head
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna lose you, but I already did
You were my shelter when I couldn’t admit
That love don’t fix what pride can break
And I lit the match on my own heartache
Now I’m stuck in the silence of the price I pay
I don’t wanna lose you… but I lost you anyway
[Bridge]
Maybe someday you’ll hear this tune
And remember the man who lost you too soon
If you ever wonder if I still care
I swear I’d trade it all just to have you there
[Final Chorus]
I don’t wanna lose you, I never did
You were my always, and I was just a stupid kid
Now I drive past that hill with the house we drew
And it’s just me and the ghost of you
I’d give forever for one more yesterday
I don’t wanna lose you…
But I lost you anyway
