The Man I Loved lyrics

[Chorus] You're still the man I loved, The one I couldn't let go of. The one who made my heart believe, That love was all I'd ever need. And even though you're far away, My heart still calls your name. You're still the man I loved, And nothing feels the same. [Verse 2] I see your shadow in my dreams, I hear your laughter in the breeze. I wish that I could turn back time, And make your broken heart still mine. But life has taken you away, And left me with the words I couldn't say. I hope you find the love you need, Even if it's not with me. [Bridge] If you ever miss the way I cared, Remember I was always there. And if your heart should break someday, Mine still remembers yesterday. [Final Chorus] You're still the man I loved, The one I prayed would never go. The one I gave my everything, The one who taught my heart to sing. And even if we never meet, Your love will live inside of me. You're still the man I loved, My sweetest memory.

You were the reason I believed, That love was something I could keep. But now I'm standing here alone, In a world that feels like home no more.
