Lyrics
[verse]
Before you walk away and shut the door for good
I need to say the things I never said I would
There was a version of us I believed in
A quiet kind of hope I kept building
[verse]
Maybe timing failed us, maybe we just missed
Maybe I held back the words that should exist
But standing here right now, before it's gone
I want you to know before I move on
[chorus]
I want you to know, I want you to know
That what we had wasn't nothing, wasn't just for show
Even if we're breaking, even if we're through
I want you to know that I loved you
[verse]
The city lights won't dim just because we're ending
Life keeps moving even when the heart is bending
But there's a piece of you I'll carry far
Wherever I go, however things are
[chorus]
I want you to know, I want you to know
That what we had wasn't nothing, wasn't just for show
Even if we're breaking, even if we're through
I want you to know that I loved you
[bridge]
So let this be the last thing that I give you
Not an apology, just the truth
This was real, whatever else is true
I want you to know, I want you to know
[chorus]
I want you to know, I want you to know
That what we had wasn't nothing, wasn't just for show
Even if we're breaking, even if we're through
I want you to know that I loved you
