Never Be the Same

I’ve stood with both feet in the ocean
Underneath a starry sky
I’ve sat up on my daddy’s shoulders
And watched the parade go by
I’ve heard the sweet sound of a lover
Softly whispering my name
I’ve felt the heat, i’ve felt the hunger
And i will never be the same

Chorus:
I’ve tasted kisses and i’ve tasted tears (ah) – very airy
Watched love grow and watched it disappear (ah)
I have searched for truth and chosen lies (ah)
I’ve been selfish and i’ve sacrificed
I’ve let go too soon, held on too hard (go too soon)
Broken promises and broken hearts (promises)
I have lived and learned and healed and hurt and laughed and cursed and prayed
And i will never be the same

I’ve given up the things i needed
And what i thought made me whole
And i’ve found beauty in my weakness
I’m not afraid to let it show
And i have screamed out loud to jesus
When i thought he couldn’t hear my pain
But then i heard the answer
And i will never be the same

Chorus:
I’ve tasted kisses and i’ve tasted tears (kisses)
Watched love grow and watched it disappear (disappear)
I have trusted and i’ve been betrayed (trusted)
Fought my way back out of my mistakes
I have lost my faith been found by grace (lost my faith)
I’ve made tears run down my mother’s face (tears run down)
I have lived and learned and healed and hurt and laughed and cursed and prayed
And i will never be the same

I have laid fresh flowers on a grave
Seen the future in a baby’s face
I have lived and learned and healed and hurt and laughed and cursed and prayed
And i will never be the same
I will never be the same
I will never be the same
