I Didn’t Stop Loving You

Verse 1
We didn’t break, we faded out
No war, no screaming in this house
Just empty sighs and the TV light
Two shadows sitting side by side

I tried to pull you back to what we used to be 
You looked right through, not at me
I’d ask you how your day had been
You’d say “fine” and close off again
You can’t you let me in?

Chorus
I didn’t stop loving you
I stopped fighting you alone
I was married to your soul 
But I was living on my own

You’re still my best friend
But I could no longer pretend 
I didn’t leave because I hated you
I left when I could no longer get through

Verse 2
We used to laugh at nothing
You used to be so loving
We kept saying we were fine
You used to be all mine
I’d reach for you at night
You’d turn away like I was no longer right

Pre-Chorus
I wasn’t asking you for much 
I wasn’t even asking you to touch
I kept holding up the weight
You stopped caring, now it’s too late 

Chorus

I didn’t stop loving you
I stopped fighting you alone
I was married to your soul 
But I was living on my own
You’re still my best friend
I could no longer pretend 
I didn’t leave because I hated you
I left when I could no longer get through

Bridge (full band drops → builds hard)
Now I can no longer wait 
It was better when I just took you on a date
I still want you to come back to me
And restore what we used to be
All I need is just one “I’m sorry”
Instead your silence is your glory. 
You turned off the light
and didn’t put up a fight

I didn’t need perfect
I needed real
I needed to know
You could still feel

Final Chorus 
I didn’t stop loving you
I stopped fighting you alone
I was married to your soul 
But I was living on my own
You’re still my best friend
I could no longer pretend 
I didn’t leave because I hated you
I left when I could no longer get through

We didn’t run out of love
We just ran out of air
And I still save your number
Like you still might care
You were supposed to be my one
and I still love you now that you’re gone
