--- *(Verse 1)* The clock struck midnight, but I couldn’t see What the next fifteen minutes would take from me. You were coughing, just a sound in the night, I didn’t know, couldn’t turn on the light. *(Pre-Chorus)* I should’ve known, I should’ve seen The way the air turned sharp, the way it leaned. But the seconds slipped like sand in my hand, Now I’m left here, I can’t understand. *(Chorus)* Oh, forgive me, son, for the time I lost, For the moments that came at the heaviest cost. I’ve been crying and drinking for ten months straight, Drowning in the guilt, in the hand of fate. Please forgive me, son, though I’ll never be free, From the weight of the world that’s crushing me. *(Verse 2)* I hear your laugh in the quiet of the night, A ghost of a memory, holding me tight. I see your face in the bottom of this glass, Every time I look back, it shatters the past. *(Pre-Chorus)* I should’ve known, I should’ve been The hero you needed to rush in. But the moments flew, they stole you away, Now I’m left in the shadow of that day. *(Chorus)* Oh, forgive me, son, for the time I lost, For the moments that came at the heaviest cost. I’ve been crying and drinking for ten months straight, Drowning in the guilt, in the hand of fate. Please forgive me, son, though I’ll never be free, From the weight of the world that’s crushing me. *(Bridge)* Fifteen minutes, a lifetime torn, I’d give my soul to have you reborn. But time is a thief, it’s cruel, it’s blind, I’m stuck in a loop, rewinding my mind. *(Chorus)* Oh, forgive me, son, for the time I lost, For the moments that came at the heaviest cost. I’ve been crying and drinking for ten months straight, Drowning in the guilt, in the hand of fate. Please forgive me, son, though I’ll never be free, From the weight of the world that’s crushing me. *(Outro)* I whisper your name into the dark, Hoping you’ll hear me, find a spark. Though I’ll never forgive myself, my boy, I hope you’ve found peace, I hope you’ve found joy. ---
