I Thought We'd Make It.

[Verse 1] We were picking out paint colors For a house we couldn't afford Talking about dogs and children Like we already knew the score You'd laugh and call me crazy When I'd plan ten years ahead Now all those conversations Just live inside my head [Verse 2] I found a picture from that summer You were wearing my old hoodie Standing barefoot in the driveway Looking back and smiling at me And for a second I forgot How the story really ends Like maybe if I stared long enough We'd be together again [Bridge] I wasn't dreaming alone You saw it too [Pre-Chorus] That's what makes this harder I know you believed it too [Chorus] I thought we'd make it I thought we'd last I thought we'd be the ones Looking back and laughing at the past I thought forever had your face I thought home was where you'd be I never thought I'd have to learn How to be me without we [Post-Chorus] I really thought we'd make it Yeah, I really thought we'd stay [Bridge] Maybe that's why it hurts this way [Verse 3] Everybody tells me everything Happens for a reason Like that's supposed to make it easier Watching love leave in pieces And I'm tired of pretending That I'm stronger than I am Some nights I still reach for my phone Before I remember where we stand [Verse 4] I heard you're doing good these days And honestly, I'm glad But hearing that you're happy Still hits me kinda bad Not because I want you hurting Not because I want you back Just because it proves the future We imagined isn't coming back [Build Up] What happened to the road trips What happened to the plans What happened to the promises We wrote into the sand What happened to forever What happened to our name How did something feel so certain Then disappear without a trace [Beat Drop] I THOUGHT WE'D MAKE IT I THOUGHT WE'D WIN I THOUGHT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED WE'D FIND OUR WAY AGAIN I THOUGHT WE'D GROW OLD TOGETHER I THOUGHT YOU'D STAY RIGHT HERE NOW I'M SCREAMING AT THE MEMORY OF EVERYTHING WE WERE [Verse 5] Maybe loving you was worth it Even if it ended wrong Maybe some people change your life Even if they don't stay long I don't regret the good days I don't regret your name I just wish I knew the moment Everything began to change [Verse 6] And maybe one day somebody else Will walk into my life Maybe I'll stop comparing smiles Maybe I'll get it right But right now all I know Is losing you changed me And the hardest part is knowing You were everything I thought I'd need [Bridge] Some people are a chapter Some people are the whole damn book [Pre-Chorus] And I still read the pages Even though I know how it ends [Chorus] I thought we'd make it I thought we'd last I thought we'd be the ones Looking back and laughing at the past I thought forever had your face I thought home was where you'd be I never thought I'd have to learn How to be me without we [Post-Chorus] I really thought we'd make it Yeah, I really thought we'd stay I really thought we'd make it But life got in the way [Bridge] Maybe loving you wasn't the mistake Maybe thinking we had forever was [Outro] So here's to the future We never got to see The house, the kids, the old front porch And everything we'd be I'll carry those memories with me Even when they're hard to face Because for a little while I really thought we'd make it...
