Chorus (drawn out, 8 bars): We can be so beautiful… Chanel, you are so beautiful… Interwoven in the soul… But too scared to truly let go… We can be so beautiful… Chanel, you are so beautiful… Interwoven in the soul… But too scared to truly let go… Verse 1 (Pain & Loss — 16 bars) I’m rolling back to that birthday night, Everything felt so perfect, felt so right. You held my soul like nobody ever could, I opened up, and it felt understood. Now the silence cuts deeper than the dark, I’m missing your voice, your smile, your spark. Hope slipped away, and I can’t undo, The space you left, girl, I can’t get through. I wish I could freeze that night in time, Replay your laugh, your touch, your shine. But I lost the one I could be honest with, Now every memory hits like a jagged cliff. I see clearly now what I threw away, Regret follows me every night, every day. You were my safe place, my heart’s confession, And now I’m left here in this deep depression. Verse 2 (Confession & Desire — 16 bars) I wish I never met you if this is the cost, Connected so deep, now it feels like I’m lost. You don’t want what we could have been, And I can’t make you want it — it’s a bitter sin. I’m asking God to forgive the wrong I’ve done, Praying for mercy, hoping you’re the one. I messed up that date, the moment I broke, If I could rewind, I’d fix every joke. I see the future I let slip through my hands, Dreams of us building life, making plans. But I’m stuck in the past, wishing you’d stay, I can’t tell you enough what I need to say. I know I pushed too hard, now I’ve gotta learn, To wait with patience for your love to return. My heart still beats for what could be, Channel, I hope you still see the real me. Verse 3 (Hope & Action — 16 bars) I’ll start with myself, change the way I dress, Clean up my act, leave behind the mess. Take my meds, care for my mind and soul, Show you the man who can make you whole. I’ll redo that date, make it right this time, Prove that I’m serious, not just in rhyme. I see who you could be, and I want that light, To rise together, shine through the night. I’ll wait patiently, show my devotion, Every step guided by love and emotion. No more mistakes, no walls, no disguise, Just hope, just truth, reflected in your eyes. If you let me, we can heal, we can grow, Interwoven in soul, let the love show. I’ll be the one to cherish, protect, and see, The beauty inside, the “could be” of you and me.
