Rest of My Life

[Chorus]
I could have loved you for the rest of my life,
But you had other plans, you had other plans.
I wanted to cherish every moment, hold them tight,
But life choices had other plans, they had other plans.
So here we are, going our own ways,
Two hearts apart, two hearts astray.
[Verse]
The porch light flickers, shadows grow tall,
A quiet goodbye, no words at all.
Your suitcase packed, the road calls your name,
I can’t blame you, but it hurts just the same.
[Chorus]
I could have loved you for the rest of my life,
But you had other plans, you had other plans.
I wanted to cherish every moment, hold them tight,
But life choices had other plans, they had other plans.
So here we are, going our own ways,
Two hearts apart, two hearts astray.
[Bridge]
Dreams we built are now fading slow,
Like footprints erased by the falling snow.
I hope you find what you're looking for,
Though it breaks my heart to close this door.
[Chorus]
I could have loved you for the rest of my life,
But you had other plans, you had other plans.
I wanted to cherish every moment, hold them tight,
But life choices had other plans, they had other plans.
So here we are, going our own ways,
Two hearts apart, two hearts astray.
[Outro]
I’ll watch the sunset, let the tears fall free,
Wondering if you’ll ever think of me.
I could have loved you for the rest of my life,
But you had other plans, you had other plans.
