Lyrics
I felt a connection right from the start

I loved every time that we talked

But I never thought I would fall apart

I wish that I left my heart blocked

My life feels so empty now

But was it ever really full cause

I’ve been searching for my whole life

Searching for someone who could love me for me

I thought I found it in you

But this ain’t it

No this ain’t it

I thought you were what I was waiting for

But it looks like I’ll keep waiting

Cause I have been fighting an inner war

to see if you were worth saving

My life feels so empty now

But was it ever really full cause

I’ve been searching for my whole life

Searching for someone who could love me for me

I thought I found it in you

But this ain’t it

No this ain’t it

Did I make a mistake

Always giving you a second chance

Very clear you were fake

Everyone else knew it at first glance

I’ve been searching for my whole life

Searching for someone who could love me for me

I thought I found it in you

But this ain’t it

No this ain’t it

But you weren’t it

No you weren’t it
