[Verse 1]
Kept every little promise
You never meant to keep
Built a future on a feeling
You only touched in your sleep
I learned to love in the shadows
You learned to hide in the light
I bent my heart till it almost broke
Just trying to hold you right
[Chorus]
If I could love the wrong one like that
Imagine what the right one’s gonna get
If I could pour my whole soul out
Into hands that just got wet
If I could fight for someone who
Never once reached back for me
Then babe
When it’s true
When it’s real
When it fits
It’s gonna feel easy
(Easy to breathe, easy to be)
It’s gonna feel easy
That’s the song for him
But it’s not the end of me
[Verse 2]
You taught me what I won’t take
Lines I won’t blur again
I was begging for a heartbeat
You were busy playing pretend
Now I dress up for my own eyes
Laugh loud just ’cause I can
I’m finally saving all that love
For someone who comes with open hands
[Chorus]
If I could love the wrong one like that
Imagine what the right one’s gonna get
If I could pour my whole soul out
Into hands that just got wet
If I could fight for someone who
Never once reached back for me
Then babe
When it’s true
When it’s real
When it fits
It’s gonna feel easy
(Easy to choose, easy to stay)
It’s gonna feel easy
That was a song for him
But it’s not the end of me
[Bridge]
One day I’ll wake up
And your name won’t sting my tongue (nah, nah)
I’ll hear my favorite love song
And you won’t be the one
If I could break on the wrong side
And still stand back up again
Then loving right
Loving right
Will feel like breathing in
(So natural, so natural)
[Chorus]
If I could love the wrong one like that
Imagine what the right one’s gonna get
If I could pour my whole soul out
Into hands that just got wet
If I could fight for someone who
Never once reached back for me
Then babe
When it’s true
When it’s real
When it fits
It’s gonna feel easy
(Easy to breathe, easy to be)
It’s gonna feel easy
Yeah
I wrote a song for him
But the love in it
Belongs to me
