The Woman

I walked away like I said I would

It’s never something I wanted to do

But change was falling like heavy rain

And drowned the woman I thought I knew

I've stayed up every night

Long past the final goodbye

I was standing out in your rain

You think yourself somehow victimized

Stones and a hard place

And I’m stuck with the heartache

And I'm still taking the blame from you

But if I never loved the woman I thought you were

Would I fight

Would I cry

And if I never loved the woman I thought you were

I'd be fine

I'd be fine

I burned my bridges to give you heat

I gave them up like an offering

How could I willingly take your pain

If I had no love inside of me

That said, I’ve had enough

I’m over chasing for ya

You point your gavel at me for

Some crime you swear came between us

Stones and a hard place

And I’m stuck with the heartache

And I'm still taking the blame from you

But if I never loved the woman I thought you were

Would I fight

Would I cry

And if I never loved the woman I thought you were

I'd be fine

I'd be fine

I can’t make this real anymore

I can’t make this real anymore

And I recall the midnights I drove to your window to prove you were mine

All the late nights with notes stained on concrete with chalk even after our fights

There was passion that drowned in the river that now separate us

But still I would cry for you

I’d dive for you

But if I never loved the woman I thought you were

Would I fight

Would I cry

And if I never loved the woman I thought you were

I'd be fine

I'd be fine

I can’t make this real anymore

I can’t make this real anymore

I can’t make this real anymore

I can’t make this real anymore
