Lyrics
I see you now for just what you are Like the finest caviar, rare and far A piece of heaven I never quite held You showed up on my radar, just before I fell
And I lost all of that love cause' I got stuck chasing the stars above But I made a vow, I'll fight somehow to earn back the best of your love now
Where did it all go wrong? Was I too proud, too strong? Kept my secrets locked inside Till all that's left is pain I hide I waited with a smile that night Tried to make the wrongs feel right Not my style, but I'd walk that mile Just to see you stay awhile
I couldn't compete--between her and me A simple "love you" might've set you free Didn't see that was key But I won't accept defeat
I was just a shadow on the sidewalk Pain dragging me like a cinder block Tired of lies and worn-out blame Closer to truth, but never to change Demons taunt and haunt my head Better to face them than run instead Wish the rain could wash it clean Make my soul feel less unseen
I found the why and how so I'm done with self-destruct now Built the strength to finally grow That's something you ought to know
And I will get the best of your love back now Not just a dream or a vow I've walked through fire, I've learned somehow To earn the best of your love now You're still on my radar heart Even when we're worlds apart
