A Life Unlived

[Verse 1] I am—I am—I am—a lie, Living in rooms where the silence sighs. The vows I speak—they bend, they fade, A quiet refrain of the life we made. The clock—ticks slow—it pulls me thin, A fragile thread I’m knotted in. I breathe—I ache—but I stay contained, Bound to love that feels unclaimed. [Chorus] I can’t love where love won’t grow, A life unspoken, no one knows. I—I am drowning in the truth, I—I am reaching out for you. Oh-oh, but the weight won’t let me rise, Oh-oh, I’m a captive in disguise. I—I am drowning in the truth, I—I am reaching out for you. [Verse 2] I fold—I fall—into his touch, But the warmth I need still asks too much. I wear his name like a quiet chain, But the thought of you remains ingrained. The nights stretch long, they press too near, Each breath I take feels too unclear. I burn—I break—when I see your face, But I’m locked inside this hollow space. [Chorus] I can’t love where love won’t grow, A life unspoken, no one knows. I—I am drowning in the truth, I—I am reaching out for you. Oh-oh, but the weight won’t let me rise, Oh-oh, I’m a captive in disguise. I—I am drowning in the truth, I—I am reaching out for you. [Bridge] (Key Change) You are—you are—the life I lost, A love untaken at too great a cost. I wear these vows, I play my role, But your name still lingers in my soul. [Chorus (Final)] I can’t love where love won’t grow, A life unspoken, no one knows. I—I am drowning in the truth, I—I am reaching out for you. Oh-oh, but the weight won’t let me rise, Oh-oh, I’m a captive in disguise. I—I am drowning in the truth, I—I am reaching out for you. [Outro] I fold—I fall—into his touch, But the warmth I crave becomes too much. I am—I am—a life unfulfilled, A quiet dream that time can’t kill. out for you. Oh-oh, but the weight won’t let me rise, Oh-oh, I’m a captive in disguise. I—I am drowning in the truth, I—I am reaching out for you. [Outro] I fold—I fall—into his touch, But the warmth I crave becomes too much. I am—I am—a life unfulfilled, A quiet dream that time can’t kill.
