"How Foolish We Was". ( Khris P)

Lyrics

(Intro)
(Yeah..yeah..)
(Mmm..damn)
Hardest thing I ever had to do.. (hardest thing)j
Was let you go.mñ(let you go)
Not because we didn't love each other.
But because we couldn't love each other right(couldn't)
How foolish we were(so foolish)
We had something beautiful.
And still found a way to break it. (damn)

(Verse 1)
The hardest thing I ever had to do was walk away(walk away)
When every part of me was begging me to stay(please stay)
I knew you loved me,I could see it in your eyes(I could see it)
But every time we got close, somehow we'd collide(damn)
We had two wounded hearts trying to make one whole(two hearts)
Both scared to lose, both scared to let go(scared)
You had your pain,I had mine too (my pain)
And somehow all that damage came between me and you(between us)
I wanted you so bad I forgot to let you breathe(let you breathe)
You wanted love, but couldn't give me what I need(what I need)
We kept holding on while slowly falling apart(falling)
Trying to fix each other with a broken heart.(damn)
Every argument turned into another scar (another scar)
Every "I love you" somehow ended in "we're too far"(too far)
We weren't enemies, we were just lost (we were lost)
Two people paying for the things that somebody else had caused(damn)

(Chorus 1)
The hardest thing I ever had to do was let you go(let you go)
Not because I didn't love you(I loved you)
But because we couldn't love each other right anymore(couldn't)
We kept hurting what we were fighting for(damn)
How foolish we were..(so foolish)
Had something real and still let it disappear(let it disappear)
We had eacmh other's hearts but couldn't make it work(couldn't)
Now I'm learning sometimes love still isn't enough(not enough)

(Verse 2)
I remember all the nights we promised we'd change(we'd change)
Then woke up the next morning doing the same damn thing (same thing)
You'd say you needed space,I'd hear you saying leave(don't leave)
I'd get angry when all you needed was to breathe(I'm sorry)
I said things I never meant when my emotions got high(I didn't mean it)
You said things that cut me deep, then we'd both apologize(I'm sorry)
We'd hold each other crying like we couldn't let go(couldn't let go)
Then wake up and repeat everything we already know.m(again)
How foolish we were(damn)
Thinking love alone could heal every wound(couldn't)
Thinking if we held on long enough we'd find our wayy(find our way)
While every day we pushed another piece awayh(another piece)
I don't blame you for the things you couldn't give(I don't)
And I hope you don't blame me for the way I learned to live(don't blame me)
We were both fighting battles nobody else could see(nobody)
And sometimes loving someone means admitting you can't make them happy (damn)

(Chorus 2)
I had to let you go while I still wanted you(wanted you)
Had to walk away from everything we knew (everything)
I would've stayed forever if forever could've been right(could've)
But we turned every beautiful moment into another fight(another fight)
How foolish we were.(yeah)
Trying to make love work while we were falling apartú(falling)
You had my heart,I had yours from the start(from the start)
But we didn't know how to hold each other's heart(damn)

(Verse 3)
Maybe someday we'll look back and finally understand(understand)
We weren't bad people,we just couldn't be what the other needed thenñ(couldn't)
Maybe timing wasn't on our side(wasn't)
Maybe all those old wounds were too deep to hide(too deep)
I wanted to be your safe place, but I became your pain(I'm sorry)
You wanted to love me, but got caught inside my rain(caught up)
I wanted your forever,you wanted peace (peace)
And neither one of us knew how to give the other what they need(damn)
So I'm letting go with tears running down my face(tears)
Even though every part of me still wants your embrace the(your embrace)
I'm not walking away because my love disappeared(nah)
I'm walking away because I finally understand what happened here(I understand)
We loved each other(we did)
Just not in the way we needed to(not right)
We gave each other everything we knew how to give(everything)
But sometimes everything you have still isn't enough to make love live(damn)

(Chorus)
The hardest thing I ever had to do was let you go(let you go)
While my heart was screaming,"Baby, don't!"(don't go)
Not because we didn't love each other deep(we loved deep)
But because together we couldn't find peace(no peace)
How foolish we were.(so foolish)
We had a love worth fighting for but didn't know how(didn't know)
We kept reaching for each other with wounded hands(wounded hands)
And somehow turned forever into goodbye instead(goodbye)
Maybe love wasn't the problem(wasn't)
Maybe it was everything we carried inside(everything)
Maybe we needed to heal before we tried to love(needed healing)
Maybe that's why we couldn't get it right(couldn't)
And if you ever wonder why I walked away(why)
Just know I loved you enough to stop causing pain(I loved you)
I'll miss you more than words could ever explain..
