Misplaced

The love I had for you it used to keep me up at night
I swear it burned so bright that it was hard to close my eyes
But you said you didn't want it so I left it somewhere safe
Not forgotten
Not abandoned
Just misplaced

Sometimes I see it glowing from some corner of my mind
I feel it underneath my skin it warms me up inside
But I'm scared to let it out and so I let it go to waste
Not forgotten
Not abandoned
Just misplaced

And as the years go by my dear it grows a little less
It used to fill the hallway now it barely fills my chest
Like the rest of it is in between my heart and outer space
Not forgotten
Not abandoned
Just misplaced

And where could it be?
All the love you had for me
Was it ever yours to keep?
And what should I do?
With the love I have for you
Was it ever mine to lose?

The dreams I had for us are waiting in some empty house
Packed in boxes, never opened, never talked about
Flowers growing through the windows, taking back the life we made
Not forgotten
Not abandoned
Just misplaced

I heard the wedding bells so loud it brought me close to tears
And now they're just another lonely ringing in my ears
Close enough that I still hear them from a couple years away
Not forgotten
Not abandoned
Just misplaced

And where could it be?
All the love you had for me
Was it ever yours to keep?
And what should I do?
With the love I have for you
Was it ever mine to lose?

Oh

And I would give anything
To find it once again
The love I've been holding in
That felt so paper thin
The way that I used to
The way that I used to
And I would give anything
To find a home for it
