I Loved Wrong - Ricky Alone
I thought love was holding on
No matter the cost
I didn't know
That's how I get lost
I gave more than I should
Stayed longer than you did
I called it devotion
You called it just how it is
I ignored everyone inside
Said patience was strong
I thought love meant fighting
Turns out I loved wrong
You didn't ask for my pain
I gave it anyway
I kept choosing you while you slipped away
I loved wrong
I loved too deep
I stayed when I was breaking
Just so you could leave
I loved wrong
I lost myself
I made you my whole world and forgot my own health
I believed every promise
Even the quiet lies
I saw truth in your silence
When it was just a goodbye
I tried to be enough
Tried to fix what wasn't me
I thought love was proving
How much I could bleed
You didn't fail me
You were just you
I failed myself trying to hold on to you
I loved wrong
I loved alone
I carried us both till I had nothing to hold
I loved wrong
And now I see
Love shouldn't hurt this constantly
If love means losing your sense of worth
And maybe that love was never love first
I'm not confused, playing with loyalty
You cannot disappear just to make someone stay
I loved wrong
But I learned the truth
Love doesn't cost all of you
I loved wrong
But I survived
I'm healing the parts you left behind
So this isn't regret
It's just moving on
I didn't love you too much
I just
Loved wrong
