I said a few things I didn't mean
Lost my mind a few times between
But I'd be lying through my teeth if I said I not hurting
I feel like I could suffocate,
And no amount of pills can alleviate
This feeling that I get when I'm without you
Well I hope you can forgive me and please try to carry on
But there's one thing that is certain now you're gone
Just know that you were loved
Know that these were words not lightly shared with you
Know that you were loved
They say it's better to have loved and lost
If only I had known that I was loved by you
I still don't know where we went wrong
But I'm tired of singing the same old song
Now I'm searching my soul to find some reason
The dreams and plans we should have had
How do I go on now they've all gone?
There's a hole in my life that's getting deeper
I was certain time would heal this but it grows stronger every day
Un-reciprocal devotion all the way
Just know that you were loved
Know that these were words not lightly shared with you
Know that you were loved
They say it's better to have loved and lost
If only I had known that I was loved by you
No matter where I run to it's hard to face,
When this city calls your name
And every time I'm holding someone new,
Just feels like I'm holding you again
As confusing as it seems to you,
To me it's clear as day with the sun shining through
So open up your eyes look into mine babe,
‘Cause don't you know that you were loved
Know that these were words not lightly shared with you
Know that you were loved
They say it's better to have loved and lost
If only I had known that I was loved by you
