Long before I knew
What it meant to give everything up
I was a rolling stone
Rolling my way alone
Till you came and made sense out of everything
But you couldn't wait
I couldn't promise you anything
If it was all a mistake
Then I guess we're both to blame
I could have been
So many things
But it would never be enough for you
I was the one
You counted on
But I was never the one for you
Now I know, I lost you a long time ago
City of strangers
Out of danger
In your arms, I was half awake, half asleep
Grab ahold to what I got
Regretting all that I'm not
I couldn't be the one who'd stand by your side
If it was all a mistake
Then I guess we're both to blame
I could have been
So many things
But it would never be enough for you
I was the one
You counted on
But I was never the one for you
Now I know, I lost you a long time ago
I hold no grudges
I come bearing forgiveness
Only love, only love
Even if it's not enough
Only love, only love
Even if it's not enough
Now I know, I lost you a long time ago
I could have been
So many things
But it would never be enough for you
I was the one
You counted on
But I was never the one for you
Now I know, I lost you a long time ago
I fell in love with you Long before I knew What it meant to give everything up I was a rolling stone Rolling my way alone Till you came and made sense out of everything But you couldn't wait I couldn't promise you anything If it was all a mistake Then I guess we're both to blame I could have been So many things But it would never be enough for you I was the one You counted on But I was never the one for you Now I know, I lost you a long time ago City of strangers Out of danger In your arms, I was half awake, half asleep Grab ahold to what I got Regretting all that I'm not I couldn't be the one who'd stand by your side If it was all a mistake Then I guess we're both to blame I could have been So many things But it would never be enough for you I was the one You counted on But I was never the one for you Now I know, I lost you a long time ago I hold no grudges I come bearing forgiveness Only love, only love Even if it's not enough Only love, only love Even if it's not enough Now I know, I lost you a long time ago I could have been So many things But it would never be enough for you I was the one You counted on But I was never the one for you Now I know, I lost you a long time ago Explain Request ×
