A Year From Now Lyrics

Complete and total adoration
My gift to you, my heart was yours
In ten weeks you shaped it
In one night you murdered it
Torn from my chest and laid at your feet
That first step you took was the worst
Since then you've walked a thousand miles in solace and short remark
And I still have these memories
But we'll never see what we could have been
Remember when we talked about where we'd be a year from now?
Remember when you held my hand like you'd never let it go?
Remember, cause that's all you can do
We'll never make another memory
We'll never make another memory
I wish I'd have died in your arms the last time we were together
So I wouldn't have to wake without you today
This time I thought things were real
You said they were
What happened?

You were a priority
Was I an option?

I let you see a side of me that I don't share with anyone
Promises are just words unless they are fulfilled
Knew from the beginning all I had to offer you was my heart
I'm sorry that it wasn't enough
So, we'll go our own ways
And hopefully you'll remember the things I've told you
Hopefully you'll understand that everything I said was in sincerity
A broken heart is not what I wanted from this
But I guess I've learned from it
But aren't you supposed to learn from your mistakes?
I don't consider this a mistake
I just wish the story didn't end this way
Cause I'm still in love with the person who helped me write it
Remember when you held my hand like you'd never let it go?
Remember when we talked about where we'd be a year from now?

How to Format Lyrics:
