Coulda Sworn It Was You

Built you this house so you could see the water

Now I'm sitting here holding daughters

One says I told you so

And my little one won't let go

Gave you my best years so you could have them

Then I gave you the rest so that you could have me

All the things I misunderstood

I never thought of you that you would

But it is true

We broke through

We moved time and oceans too

Damn, I could have sworn it was you

If I close my eyes I can get your face

It's still warm where it was your place

All the secrets you thought I hid

I didn't do what you thought I did

But it is so

It's like the quiet you get from snow

I loved without looking as you do

Damn, I could have sworn it was you

And I

I still scream some nights

Can't catch my heartbeat

Can't see the light

I can't see the light

Built you this house so that you could see the water

Now I'm sitting here holding daughters

One says I told you so

And the little one won't let go

But it is so

It's like the quiet you get from snow

I loved without looking as you do

Damn I could have sworn it was you

Man I could have sworn it was you
