Verse 1
I worked every late night I could find
Chased every dollar, left sleep behind
Tried to build a future with these empty hands
But dreams don't always go the way you plan
I fixed what was broken, carried the weight
Spent every day trying to change my fate
But every time you talked about what comes next
I saw the worry hiding in your chest
Pre-Chorus
And I knew before you said a word
The hardest truth I'd ever heard
Chorus
Sometimes love ain't losing feelings
Sometimes love is setting free
Knowing someone deserves a kingdom
When all you've got is what you see
I gave you every piece of me
Every promise I could keep
But I couldn't be the man
You deserved me to be
And that's what's breaking me
Verse 2
You never asked for diamonds or a name
Never made me feel an ounce of shame
You stood beside me through the darkest years
And loved me through my doubts and fears
But I could see your eyes when we'd drive by
The houses you'd admire, then look away and sigh
You said you were happy, and maybe it was true
But I wanted more for you than I could do
Pre-Chorus
And every dream you put aside
Felt like another thing I couldn't provide
Chorus
Sometimes love ain't losing feelings
Sometimes love is setting free
Knowing someone deserves a kingdom
When all you've got is what you see
I gave you every piece of me
Every promise I could keep
But I couldn't be the man
You deserved me to be
And that's what's breaking me
Bridge
I wish that love alone was enough
To pay the bills and smooth the rough
I wish these hands could build the world
You always dreamed of, girl
And maybe someone else will come
With stronger shoulders, steadier funds
And he'll give you everything
I spent years trying to become
Final Chorus
'Cause you'll always have my heart
Even if we fall apart
And I'll smile if I hear your name
And know somebody eased your pain
I gave you every piece of me
Till there was nothing left to keep
And if letting go's the only way
To give you what you need
Then I'll love you enough to leave
Outro
So if you ever think I didn't try
Just know I loved you more than my own life
And walking away wasn't because I didn't care
It was because I knew you deserved more than I could bear
I worked every late night I could find
Chased every dollar, left sleep behind
Tried to build a future with these empty hands
But dreams don't always go the way you plan
I fixed what was broken, carried the weight
Spent every day trying to change my fate
But every time you talked about what comes next
I saw the worry hiding in your chest
Pre-Chorus
And I knew before you said a word
The hardest truth I'd ever heard
Chorus
Sometimes love ain't losing feelings
Sometimes love is setting free
Knowing someone deserves a kingdom
When all you've got is what you see
I gave you every piece of me
Every promise I could keep
But I couldn't be the man
You deserved me to be
And that's what's breaking me
