Lyrics
VERSE
Love isn't love 'til you give it away
You gave your love to me
So it was a shock when you left that day
But now I'm in recovery
CHORUS
At last, I'm where I need to be
Patching up this shattered heart
You were all, everything to me
But now I'm on the path, oh, to a brand-new start
I'm in recovery
VERSE
You tore my heart apart; took me to my knees
Guess I had been too blind to see
That you fell out of love, fell out of love with me
But now I'm in recovery
Repeat CHORUS
BRIDGE
When you took back your love, you left a hole in my soul
But now it's time for me to chart the start of my recovery
Repeat CHORUS
TAG
Now I'm in recovery
