Lyric

I used to think I needed no one

I used to walk my road alone

Then you came into my life

And never asked me to change

You knew I couldn't stay forever

Long before I knew it too

Every time I chased another dream

I left a little more of you

You only smiled and said, be careful

While hiding what you really felt from me

I thought that made me strong

God, I was such a fool

I never walked alone

You were carrying me

But I still have to go

There's another road ahead

There's a fire in this heart

That won't let me rest yet

And I know I've hurt you

More than I ever meant to

Forgive this selfish heart of mine

And thank you

Thank you for your love

I couldn't have come this far

Without you

Do you remember all those nights

When I came home too late again?

You'd be sleeping on the sofa

Waiting for me in the end

I said, someday it'll be different

God, how many times I lied

Two people who still care

But can't go back again

Maybe love was never meant

To keep somebody from the road

Maybe loving me

Was knowing when to let me go

So I still have to go

Though every part of me wants to stay

There's something waiting down this road

And I can't turn away

Don't wait for me

I've taken enough of your time

Go find the life you deserve

And forgive this selfish heart of mine

Thank you for your love

Thank you for believing

When I couldn't believe in myself

There were nights

I nearly gave up

Times I couldn't see

Another step ahead

And somehow

You always knew

You never walked the road for me

You just stood beside me

Until I could walk again

I thought I was chasing my dream alone

I wasn't

It was never just me

So don't remember me

For all the nights I wasn't there

Remember that I loved you

Even when I didn't know how to show I cared

Don't remember every promise

That I was too damn weak to keep

Remember one thing

Please

Remember this

I really loved you

I still do in my own way

And maybe that's the hardest thing

I've ever had to say

Because I still have to go

Even though I know the price

I have to see what's waiting

On the other side of this life

Thank you for your love

Thank you for your time

Thank you for every single day

You walked this road with mine

And I'm sorry for the nights

I made you feel alone

I'm sorry that my heart

Was always somewhere down the road

But every step I take from here

There's something you should know

I may be walking without you

But I'll never walk alone

You gave me fire

You gave me strength

You gave me somewhere I belonged

And wherever this road takes me

A part of you comes along

So don't wait for me

Don't cry for me

Don't waste another night

Go find somebody

Who can give you

What I never got right

And if someday

You hear my name

Inside some forgotten song

I hope you'll smile and know

That you

Were there all along

Thank you

For never asking me to give up my dream

I loved you

That much was real

But I still have to go
