Loving Somebody

It was a pivotal moment walking along clifftops
I try not to think about, the second where I looked up
Saw him breaking, it'd been so hard
When I was in America

He was a creature of comfort, loving me deep and blind
Forced our lives to intertwine, ignoring every flag and sign
It was sacred, we sure had heart
But trouble lay ahead of us
And so it faded out like it always does

Nowadays, I tend to go it alone
Down to the waterway, closest to my home
And I heard he misses me around
For him letting me down
It put a chain on the door
But what is that good for?

'Cause I may have been burned
Still I'll feel it return
The pull towards adoring is like gravity to me
I may have been scorned
But I ache for that warmth that comes with knowing one
As well as you know family

And I know better than anyone who tells me so
Reopened wounds are all I'm gonna see
But loving somebody made me happy
Loving somebody made me me

In the middle of August
Was when it all went south
I try not to think about
The loss of love on his part
It is wretched to know yourself
Solely when you are with someone else
And feeling like every card you had's been dealt

So nowadays, I'd rather go it alone
Down to the waterway
Closest to my home's where I go
And I know that for the first time I'm finally doing fine
But there's a chain on the door
And what is that good for?

I may have been burned
Still, I'll feel it return
The pull towards adoring you comes naturally to me
I may have been scorned
But I ache for that warmth that comes with knowing one
As well as you know family

And I know better than anyone who tells me so
I'm surely bound to repeat history
But loving somebody made me happy
Loving somebody made me me
