we both meant it

we both meant it lyrics

Verse 1

I keep the small things
Like your chipped blue cup
And the way you said
You’d come back up

Was it enough then?
Was it ever enough?
We held it so gently
Still, love can be rough

Pre-Chorus

I hear the hours
In the walls
I hear your promise
Falling soft

Chorus

We both meant it
We both meant it
Even when it broke
We both meant it
(we both meant it)

Verse 2

You left your sweater
Folded on the chair
I never threw it out
Like I could keep you there

I replay the goodbye
Till it turns to dust
If I let you go now
I don’t let go of us

Pre-Chorus

Say what you need to
Say it plain
If we were honest
Then own the pain

Chorus

We both meant it
We both meant it
Even when it broke
We both meant it
(we both meant it)

Bridge

I wasn’t lying
When I said stay
I just got scared
Of the miles away
Every vow was real
Every word we knew
If I let you go
I still loved you

We both meant it
We both meant it
Let the hurt be true
We both meant it
We both meant it
And I still miss you too
(we both meant it)
