How did we become like this
The shape has shifted into something different
I didn't mean, I didn't mean to make you cry
Under the fireworks that night
Maybe I was naive
I fell for music, New York, and you
Only nineteen and dreams coming true
You were older, and you walked me the long way home
You're still gone, and I'm still home
And I still long to hold you in my arms
Once more in the light
You're happy with the woman you married
You liked her better than me
She stood out to you
I'm living in my hometown now
I don't ever want to leave
I plan to stay, have kids, watch them grow
You come into my mind after hours
And I still find it hard to believe we had the chance
To meet when we did back then
I have a job I go to every day
I'm still writing songs like you showed me
Everything you gave me, I carry it with me now
Oh, what kind of love is this, my love
I wish you well, I wish you well
You're still gone, and I'm still home
And I still long to hold you in my arms
Once more in the light
You're happy with the woman you married
You liked her better than me
She stood out to you
You're still gone and I'm still home
And I still long, to hold you in my arms
Once more in the night
I'm happy as the woman you made me
You know you changed me
You brought me to life
You brought me to life
