When You Loved Me

[Verse 1]
I look to the west
The sun blinds me, I shade my eyes
Your gaze finds me, I lose my breath
She looks at you
My head reels, you look back
You make her feel like I used to

[Pre-Chorus]
I recall when you first touched me
Haunted by your face above me

[Chorus]
You, it was always you
With your broken crown
Touched me like holy ground
And I so eager to believe
So sincere, so naïve
Back when you loved me

[Verse 2]
I look to the sky
Small birds fly in a black line
Onе falls behind, I hear it cry
The sun shinеs through
Your water glass, it lights up her dress
It magnifies what I regret

[Pre-Chorus]
I recall when you first touched me
Haunted by your face above me

[Chorus]
You, it was always you
With your broken crown
Touched me like holy ground
And I so eager to believe
So sincere, so naïve
Back when you loved me

[Bridge]
Living with your memory now
It’s being lost at sea now
It’s dragging me
It’s dragging me
Dragging me down

[Chorus]
You, it was always you
With your broken crown
Touched me like holy ground
And I consumed with poetry
The kind that brought me to my knees
Back when you loved me

[Outro]
I look to the west
I hope that bird has found its way
The sun slips away
