[Verse 1] I wake in the quiet, With the dust in my chest. The echoes of choices I tried to forget. The mirror is heavy, It don’t lie like I do. It shows me the ruins Of a man passing through. [Chorus] And every step reminds me Of the weight I chose to bear. I built my own prisons, Found no comfort there. If time had a mercy, It never reached my hands. I'm living in the shadow Of the life I never planned. [Verse 2] I keep all the letters That I never sent. Words full of promises I never kept. Faces I wronged Still follow my name. I whisper forgiveness But it never sounds the same. [Chorus] And every step reminds me Of the weight I chose to bear. I built my own prisons, Found no comfort there. If time had a mercy, It never reached my hands. I'm living in the shadow Of the life I never planned. [Bridge] If there’s a road to healing, I’ve wandered past the sign. But still I walk the twilight, Searching for a light that’s mine. [Final Chorus] And every step reminds me What I lost along the way. The pieces I abandoned Still call my name today. If I could start over, I’d learn how to stand But now I’m just the ghost Of a life I never planned.
