[Verse 1]
He said forever on a Sunday drive
One hand on the wheel, one hand in mine
Guess he loved the chase more than the catch
Left me counting every crack in the past
[Chorus]
He didn’t know what he had
But I sure do
I was gold in his hands
Now I’m shining through
Yeah he walked away
Thought I’d break in two
But I’m stronger than his goodbye
Stronger than that boy ever knew
[Verse 2]
I remember all the looks that I got
Girls in the bar thinking I hit the jackpot
If they only knew what it’s like at 2am
Crying in the dark right next to him
[Chorus]
He didn’t know what he had
But I sure do
I was gold in his hands
Now I’m shining through
Yeah he walked away
Thought I’d break in two
But I’m stronger than his goodbye
Stronger than that boy ever knew
[Bridge]
I fell for the stories
Every sweet-talking line
Now I fall asleep
And I don’t rewind
He can keep his maybe
I’ve got my own life
A little scarred, a little soft
But standing high
[Chorus]
He didn’t know what he had
But I sure do
I was gold in his hands
Now I’m shining through
Yeah he walked away
Thought I’d break in two
But I’m stronger than his goodbye
Stronger than that boy ever knew
Yeah I’m stronger than his goodbye
Stronger than that boy ever knew
