Heartstrings Unfold

I wasn't looking for a miracle,

Just someone at the end of the day.

A voice that made the silence smaller,

A reason not to walk away.

You never promised me forever,

Never drew our names in the sky.

But somewhere between all those conversations...

You stayed until goodbye.

Now every evening feels a little colder,

Every song sounds like your name.

Funny how the shortest story...

Can leave the deepest pain.

You were never mine...

But you felt like home.

Now I'm learning

How to be alone.

You held my heart Without even trying.

You walked away... While both of us were crying.

Maybe that's what love can do...

Even when it never belonged to you.

(ooh) Tomorrow someone's gonna ask me

If I'm finally doing alright.

I'll smile and say I'm getting better...

They don't know

I still miss your "goodnight." Maybe someday

Someone else

Will hear the parts

You couldn't feel. Until then...

I'll carry hope... Like something

That's still real.

You were never mine...

But you changed my life.

Showed me love

Can still survive.

If I ever find

The one meant for me...

She'll never know

You helped me believe. (ahhhh)

Sometimes... The people who stay

The shortest... Leave the longest echo.
