Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You used to call me Just to ask how my day went I rolled my eyes Changed the subject Pushed your patience to the edge You brought me flowers I left them dying on the chair Said I needed “something different” You were standing Always there [Chorus] I never knew love ’til I had you Didn’t feel the truth ’til I lost you You were holding me so gentle I was breaking what was special Now these sheets stay cold beside me Wish your name would light my phone screen I never knew love like the way you loved me The way you loved me [Verse 2] You tried to warn me Said my words cut like a blade I laughed it off Called you fragile Drowned you out with all my pride You packed your suitcase Softest “goodbye” that I’ve heard Thought you’d circle back by Sunday You kept walking Kept your word [Chorus] I never knew love ’til I had you Didn’t feel the truth ’til I lost you You were holding me so gentle I was breaking what was special Now these sheets stay cold beside me Wish your name would light my phone screen I never knew love like the way you loved me The way you loved me [Bridge] Every “sorry” that I saved Comes too late Just echoes in this place (oh) Got your sweater in my closet Smells like you I almost lose it If you hear this in the dark Know I’m guarding what I should’ve guarded then You were rare and I was careless I would choose you once again [Chorus] I never knew love ’til I had you Didn’t feel the truth ’til I lost you You were holding me so gentle I was breaking what was special Now my heart calls out in silence Learning how to live with distance I never knew love like the way you loved me The way you loved me (oh) The way you loved me
