I came from miles you’ll never see,
Chasing a dream you made in me,
Every road just led to you,
I thought your love was something true.
I carried hope across the sea,
Believed one day you’d choose me,
Every word, I held so tight,
Thought I was your wrong made right.
(Pre-Chorus)
But love don’t grow where it ain’t real,
And truth cuts deeper than it feels…
(Chorus)
Monica, I gave you all I had,
Every good in me, every piece, every chance,
Thought you were the love of my life,
Now I’m standing here alone tonight.
Monica, I crossed the world for you,
But you never saw what I went through,
I was hoping you’d be grateful for me,
Now I’m just a broken memory.
(Verse 2)
You said forever with your eyes,
But your silence told me lies,
I was building us a home,
While you left me there alone.
I was thinking you were mine,
Reading signs that weren’t a sign,
Now I see what I refused—
I was loving, you just used.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I can’t force a heart to stay,
No matter how far I came…
(Chorus)
Monica, I gave you all I had,
Every dream I built is turning bad,
Thought you were the love of my life,
Now I’m losing you in black and white.
Monica, I crossed the world for you,
But your love was never true,
I was hoping you’d be grateful for me,
Now I’m just a broken memory.
(Bridge)
Maybe someday you’ll understand,
The weight of holding someone’s hand,
When they would’ve given you their soul,
Just to never let you go…
(Outro)
Monica… I came too far to fall this way,
But I’ll find myself someday…
