[Verse] You held your breath through every storm Tried to walk like nothing’s wrong I saw the wounds behind your eyes But I stayed still, I passed you by [Verse] I brought you tea, I said the words But they were empty, barely heard You needed more than just my care You needed someone who wasn’t scared [Verse] I watched you drown from higher ground Telling myself, "You won’t go down" But you were screaming underwater And all I did was stare in horror [Verse] I thought that love could be enough Turns out it’s hollow when it’s tough And guilt is heavier than pain It doesn’t end—it blooms in shame [Verse] The time moved on, but I stayed back Inside the night you lost your track Your peace taught me how to grieve For what I didn’t try to save [Chorus] I couldn’t reach you Though I was right there My hands were shaking My heart laid bare I saw you slipping And I said nothing And that’s the wound I always wear [Chorus] I couldn’t save you And I can’t forgive The part of me That let you live In quiet pain, behind closed doors I should have broken through the floor [Chorus] Now I repeat it Line by line How I could’ve Crossed the line But fear kept all my words inside And now you’re gone, and so am I [Chorus] It wasn’t fair, it wasn’t fate It was just me being too late And every song reminds me still Of how I failed, and always will [Bridge] You left a mark I never read You left a light I never fed The world moved on, I stayed behind Living in that helpless instant Your haunt is not a roaming thing It’s just the gag that you bring When I walk past that street Where you once said, “I’m not enough” (And maybe I wasn’t, maybe I was But now I’ll never know because…) [Final] It wasn’t fair, it wasn’t fate It was just me being too late And every song reminds me still Of how I failed, and always will I... always... wiiiiiiiiiiill...
