"what we were" lyrics

Oh, did we place our hearts
Where they both don't belong?
Strange how choices make our lives
Or break our kingdoms down

Oh, what if we could wait?
Could we turn it around?
Reflect upon our past mistakes
For better days we found
For better days we found

The hardest part is letting go
The hardest part is letting go of who we love
And when we need to let go, we hold on twice as hard
Is what we were still what we are?
Is what we were still what we are?
(Is what we were still what we are?)

Remember when you said
Through storms that call your name
I see your heart's still made of love
I see a better man
I see a better man

The hardest part is letting go (The hardest part is letting go)
The hardest part is letting go of who we love
When we need to let go, we hold on twice as hard
Is what we were still what we are? (Is what we were still what we are?)
Is what we were still what we are?

And when we need to let go
We hold on twice as hard
And now we need to let go
What we were ain't what we are
What we were ain't what we–

The hardest part is letting go
The hardest part is letting go of who we love
When we need to let go, we hold on twice as hard
Is what we were still what we are? (The hardest part is letting go)
Is what we were still what we are? (The hardest part is letting go)
Is what we were still what we are? (Is what we were still what we are?)
Is what we were still what we are?
