about

I wrote this, originally, as a love song. It was the only one I had ever written in pencil. It didn't work out and in a bitter rampage, I erased everything and made it in the past tense, hence, the title.

lyrics

I know it's hard, but I can see
All the hope in the air you breathe
You filled up my heart and made it whole,
For once
I thought we, were meant to be
And the love you gave, you gave to me
Wait here for a moment so I can say,
I would've been there, every step of the way

Those three words were right under my lips
Extending from my bones to my fingertips
Where do the lies stop and your life begins
I guess no one will ever know

I know it's hard, but I can see
All the hope in the air you breathe
You filled up my heart and made it whole,
For once
I thought we, were meant to be
And the love you gave, you gave to me
Wait here for a moment so I can say,
I would've been there, every step of the way

I can't believe this happened
That you could sink so low
I never saw this coming
How could you do this to me?

I know it's hard, but I can see
All the hope in the air you breathe
You filled up my heart and made it whole,
For once
I thought we, were meant to be
And the love you gave, you gave to me
Wait here for a moment so I can say,
I would've been there, every step of the way
