Only After All This Time

Should’ve been him breaking my heart.
But all my heart’s been aching for is a new start.

Should’ve been holding onto all we had.
But all this time my head’s been buried in the sand.

Should’ve left him the moment I knew.
But all of me truly believed our love was true.

Should’ve been him leaving me behind.
But only after all this time, I realize how he always eased my mind.

Should’ve been him letting me down.
But all through our time together, I remember,
Although my heart longed for more, he always made my spirit soar.
