Loved You Anyway

“Loved You Anyway”

I showed up with my heart wide open
Even when yours was slowly closing
I stood there waiting in the cold
Holding onto what we used to hold
I called your name into the silence
Fighting tears, fighting the distance
You were near but felt so far
Like I was loving a fading star

You looked at me like I changed
Like my love had rearranged
But I was still the same girl
Still choosing you in my world

You left me standing alone
With a love that still felt like home
All of our moments replay in my mind
But they’re memories now, frozen in time
We were laughter, we were fire
Now I’m holding broken desire
I loved you anyway… I stayed
Even when I felt you drift away 💔

I remember how you held my hand
Like I was part of every plan
Now all I have are thoughts of this
Your voice used to calm my fears
Now it’s silence in my ears
The love we had was once alive
Now it only survives inside

I kept choosing understanding
While my heart was barely standing
I gave you patience, gave you space
While slowly losing my place

You left me standing alone
With a love that still felt like home
All of our promises we made
Now just shadows that slowly fade
We were magic, we were real
Now I’m the only one who feels
I loved you anyway… I tried
Even when you left my side
Bridge (Soft, Deep Emotion)
I didn’t stop loving you
I just stopped begging you to stay
There’s a difference between holding on
And letting yourself fade away
Final Chorus (Stronger Emotion)
You left me standing alone
But I found strength on my own
Our beautiful moments, I let them be
Treasured in memory
I loved you through the doubt
Through the silence, through the drought
And even now, the truth remains —
I loved you anyway.
