Just by loving you

I think about how it might have been
how we would have merged if I'd let you in
and I think of all I've lost
just by loving you

I know that mistakes help you grow
but my crazy mistakes killed the seeds we'd sewn
and I should have been stronger and fought for all our love
but you should have steadied me and been my rock
instead you let us fall
we watched love bring crashing down our lives
you saw my heart break and caused the tears I cried

and you grew into someone I don't know
but I scratch the surface and you're still bleeding for me
so I think about how it might have been
remember merging, letting you in
and I treasure all that I've gained
just by loving you
