Lyrics

The one I chose to hold me
Was the one I trusted most
Never saw the word coming
Through the promises we spoke
Words can build a kingdom
Words can tear it down
One small word acknowledged
Brought the whole thing to the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Questions left unanswered
Still echo through the dark
But, how a single sentence
Can put a bullet through your heart
[Chorus]
I drowned inside your love for years
Till the word unrendered me
All the magic of the moment
Became a memory
Tell me straight, tell the true
You hide behind your shame
"I love you, but..."
That one last word
Will never sound the same
I love you, but...
Has a meaning
It has measure
It has weight
I love you, but...
My intentions
Are shallower today
[Verse 2]
She can wear a diamond
She’ll diminish all its shine
In the compromise and silence
I love you, but …was mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Will I question anything
Or trust what you tell me
I love you, but…speaks loudly
You claim that its just me
[Chorus]
I drowned inside your love for years
Till the word unrendered me
All the magic of the moment
Became a memory
Tell me straight, tell the true
You hide behind your shame
"I love you, but..."
That one last word
Will never sound the same
I love you, but...
Has a meaning
It has measure
It has weight
I love you, but...
My intentions
Are shallower today
[Bridge]
Words will hold a meaning
Lie’s once now are true
A promise starts to wither
Changing everything you knew
I love you, but… holds standards
Pretenses are undone
I love you, but… lacks value
She never was the one
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
I drowned inside your love for years
Till the word unrendered me
All the magic of the moment
Became a memory
Tell me straight, tell the true
You hide behind your shame
"I love you, but..."
That one last word
Will never sound the same
I love you, but...
Has a meaning
It has measure
It has weight
I love you, but...
My intentions
Are shallower today

[Outro]
I love you, but...
An ending
To what we couldn't save
