First final song

You were my first real taste of forever,

Back when forever didn't seem that far.

We were young, we fought,

we broke each other,

Then somehow found our way back through the dark.

I wasn't always easy,

Lord, I know it,

There are words and things I wish I could undo.

But every time I thought our story ended,

Somehow I came running back to you.

We said goodbye, then said “I do,”

Built a life from me and you.

I thought after all we'd made it through,

There was nothing we couldn't do.

You didn't die, but the girl I knew did,

Somewhere between forever And the things we never fixed.

I still see your face,

But I don't know those eyes.

The woman standing there Ain't the first love of my life.

I'm not saying I was innocent,

God knows I had my part,

But you walked away with my best friend And something died inside

my heart.

You're still living somewhere,

But there's one thing that I know—

The girl I loved died a long time ago.

We filled that house with little voices,

Pictures on the walls and toys across the floor.

There were bills and fights and tired conversations,

But I still thought we were worth fighting for.

Maybe I missed the signs you were leaving,

Maybe love made some things hard to see.

I could've understood you saying you were finished— Just never thought you'd

leave with him from me.

He knew our story,

knew our home, Knew every scar I'd ever shown.

I lost a love and lost a friend In the same goodbye

that night.

You didn't die, but the girl I knew did,

Somewhere between forever And the things we never fixed.

I still see your face,

But I don't know those eyes.

The woman standing there Ain't the first love of my life.

I'm not saying I was innocent,

God knows I had my part,

But you walked away with my best friend And something died inside

my heart. You're still living somewhere,

But there's one thing that I know—

The girl I loved died a long time ago.

But then I look at our two daughters,

And I know those years weren't all in vain.

They're the best thing that came from our story,

Worth every mile and every ounce of pain.

They've got pieces of us both within them,

And a strength that's all their own.

Whatever else got lost between us,

They're the good that carried on.

So I won't say the years were wasted,

I won't wish that road away.

Because it brought those two girls to me,

And I'd never trade that part away.

Some things broke and stayed broken,

Some answers I'll never know.

But the best thing we ever gave this world Is standing strong

because of us both.

You didn't die, but the girl I knew did,

Somewhere between forever And the things we never fixed.

I still see your face,

But I don't know those eyes.

The woman standing there Ain't the first love of my life.

I'm not saying I was innocent,

God knows I had my part,

But you walked away with my best friend And something died inside

my heart.

Still, I'd never call those years a loss,

Not with the daughters that we know.

You may not be the girl I loved,

But something beautiful still grew.

We had our good,

We had our scars,

We gave this world two shining hearts.

And even though our story changed,

That part will always stay.
