What We Had

Feelings revealed too late, are the ones we miss the most
You're the reason I lie awake all night, staring at the empty walls
That used to be filled with memories of us, that seemed so close
And now even though we're apart, you always seem to catch me when I fall

They say you don't know what you have until it's gone
And I never thought it'd happen to me, I never saw it coming
I never thought I'd know that feeling, but I guess I was wrong
And now the life that I once knew is changing

Every time I'm with you, it all comes rushing back to me
Like a waterfall, the feelings I once had for you are never ending
And now that my eyes are blurry, it's so much harder to see
Why my heart has finally decided to stop pretending 

Why it's all happening now is the one thing I don't understand
Half of me wants to get over you, but the other half just can't let go
And sometimes all I want to do is be next to you, just hold your hand
My heart says yes, but all the while my mind is screaming no

They say that you can't go wrong when you follow your heart
But, what if even your heart doesn't know what to do?
Where do you go from there? When you're slowly falling apart
And you don't know where to find what's true

Just look deep into my eyes and tell me what you see
Do you see a slightly cracked smile, or a heart that just can't find its way home?
Sometimes I wonder if you ever think about me
Sometimes I think to myself, why does it hurt this much to be alone?

My heart is broken because of all the mistakes I've made
You seemed to be the only one who saw the best in me and that was all
Slowly, everything we had is beginning to fade
It's hard, but I'm trying to be strong, I'm still standing tall

You're the one thing in my life that I could never regret even if I tried
And as you walk away, please just remember that I'll never stop caring about you
No matter how hard I try to get over you, it has been proven by the tears I've cried
What me and you had, every single piece of it was true
