Love What You Lose

The color was red then Blushing cheeks from flutters in my heart For you The feeling was magic Every time you looked me in the eyes I knew I was wide-eyed Taking in the view of nothing But clear skies We were kids then Running with the wind, oh, it felt easy So easy Tragic how it all went down Tiptoeing secrets Turned into beacons Showing me a world I never knew Telling me I knew a different version of you The season was winter The night you told me you were moving on From here The feeling was helpless To watch the world I dreamed of Start to disappear You were frozen Colder than December Caught in the headlights Oh, the silence The barrier between us just got louder Much louder Tragic how it all came tumbling down Tiptoeing secrets Turned into beacons Showing me a world I never knew Telling me I knew a different version of you Should it surprise me Loving is blinding Showing me a world I want to see Telling me a story that I want to believe Oh I, I've played it in my mind A hundred times When I thought we were in trouble You were playing double Wherever you are now I hope you've found Honesty such a sweet relief I keep on trying It's foolish denying Things won't be the same with me and you Oh it makes it that much harder When you love what you lose
