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
