How did I love you

Ten years and I still know

Every little thing about you

Every time you walk in

I still feel it like I used to

We got too close to call it nothing

Too scared to call it more

So I kept waiting on a feeling

You were never waiting for

Slowly, I started realizing

You were never gonna feel the same

I kept holding onto something

That you already walked away from

You gave yourself a reason

To never have to think about me anymore

And I’m still standing here wondering

How did I love you for so long, so long?

When you never felt the same all along

How did I give you every part of me

When you were never gonna give it back to me?

Now I’m letting go, letting go, ooh-ooh

Even though you’re still the one I want

How did I love you for so long, so long?

When you could never love me back

Ooh

Ooh-ooh

So long

So long

Maybe I should’ve known better

Maybe I just wanted it to work

‘Cause every time you got close

I forgot about the hurt

You could say we’re only friends

And maybe that’s all we’ll ever be

But tell me why it still feels like

There’s something you won’t say to me

Slowly, I’m starting to accept it

Even if I don’t wanna let it go

I spent too many years hoping

You’d wake up and finally know

That I would’ve stayed beside you

Through every version of yourself

But I can’t make you love me

No matter how long I wait

How did I love you for so long, so long?

When you never felt the same all along

How did I give you every part of me

When you were never gonna give it back to me?

Now I’m letting go, letting go, ooh-ooh

Even though you’re still the one I want

How did I love you for so long, so long?

When you could never love me back

Ooh

Ooh-ooh

So long

So long

How did I love you for so long?

How did I love you for so long?
