[Chorus]
You were my everything
You were my everything
The reason why I hoped and dreamed
You and I are a story untold
And now you're gone
And my heart's turned cold
[Verse 1]
Words can't describe
How I feel inside
With a heart so scorned
Dont feel sorry for me
Dont you feel guilty
Since you moved on
Internally, he murdered me
My emotions bleed no more
I'll have chills at night
Probably 'til I die
And feel a love reborn, 'cause...
[Chorus]
You were my everything
The reason why I hoped and dreamed
You and I are a story untold
And now you're gone
And my heart's turned cold
[Verse 2]
Emotionally, I was confused
But only for a second there
Was I fooled?
Gave you all of me
Every part of me
Even sacrificed my precious jewel
Then you patiently chipped away at me
Using your words as tools
And I compromised my identity
And gave into me
Just to play by your rules
[Chorus]
You, you were my everything
The reason why I hoped and dreamed
You and I are a story untold
And now you're gone
And my heart's turned cold
[Bridge]
Now that I'm free
I can release all that I have in me
All that I've held in for so long
Won't let that keep me from moving on
Now that I'm free
I can release all that I have in me
All that I've held in for so long
Won't let that keep me from moving on
[Verse 3]
Words of advice
Speak from your heart
Let the truth see you through
'Cause what goes around (goes around)
Always comes around (comes around)
And this could be you singing...
[Chorus]
You were my everything, oh yeah
The reason why I hoped and dreamed
(Don't ever put anyone what you put me through)
You and I are a story untold
('Cause this could be you, you, you)
And now you're gone (You just don't...)
And my heart's turned cold (don't know what you put me through)
'Cause you were my everything
The reason why I hoped and dreamed
You and I are a story untold
And now you're gone
And my heart's turned cold
My heart's turned gold
