The Day Love Lost Me

I remember standing by That old front door. With a suitcase full of dreams and nothing more. You said forever, But forever changed. Left me holding flowers in the pouring rain. I gave you my heart, I gave you my soul. Tried to fix a love that was growing cold. Now every picture on the wall I see. Is a reminder of who I used to be. That was the day love lost me, The day I stopped begging you to stay. I cried my last tear for a broken Promise And finally walked away. You took my heart and left the pieces, But I found strength underneath. That was the day love lost me, But I found myself when I was free. The blues still visit When the night falls down. Like an old friend coming back around. I hear your voice In the midnight rain. But I don't run back to yesterday. I learned that a heart can break and heal. A scar can prove that love was real. I'm not the woman you left behind, I'm a woman who survived. That was the day love lost me, The day I stopped begging you to stay. Oh. I cried my last tear for a broken promise And finally walked away. You took my heart and left the pieces, But I found strength underneath. That was the day love lost me, But I found myself when I was free. No more waiting by the window, No more calling out your name. I turned my pain into a melody, And I let the blues carry me. That was the day love lost me, But my soul learned how to shine. I lost a love that couldn't hold me, But I found this heart of mine. The tears are gone, the night is over. I'm stronger than I've ever been. That was the day love lost me And the day I started again.
