Never knew the damage

I watched the rain fall down, it echoes in my chest
Every drop memory of how I made a mess
I said the wrong words, turned love into a fight
Now I'm lying here alone in the silence of the night

I never knew the damage till you walked out the door
Now the emptiness is louder than it ever was before
I wanna turn back time, fix all the things I broke
But all I got are words that I never spoke

If I could rewind, I'd hold you tight
Erase the pain, make everything right
I'd take back the lies, taste back the tears
I'd trade this regret for all those lost years

But time don't bend and I'm stuck in this place
Wishing I could see you with forgiveness on your face
I played with your trust, didn't realize the cost
Now I'm drowning in the pieces of everything I lost

Your love was my shelter, I pushed you to the storm
Now the colds keep me company, wishing you were warm
I can't escape the memories, they haunt me everyday
All the things I didn't say, all the times I pushed away

If I could rewind, I'd hold you tight
Erase the pain, make everything right
I'd take back the lies, take back the tears
I'd trade this regret for all those lost years

But time don't bend and I'm stuck in this place
Wishing I could see you with forgiveness on your face
Family got involved and things got complicated
Lines were drawn and our love was suffocated We tried to make it work but it was all in vain
Now I'm left with the sorrow and my heart in pain
I should've stood up, should've held you tight
Should've fought for us, make everything right

I should've stood tall when they tried to bring me down
But I stayed quiet, I never made a sound
You needed me to fight, needed me to care
But I was too scared, too lost to be there

Every time they said you weren't enough
I let their words turn our love into dust
I watched you break and I didn't defend
Now I'm all alone, wishing I could mend

You were reaching for me and I let go of your hand
I thought staying quiet would make things right
You needed me but I let you fall
Now I'm standing here with nothing at all

I let you down when I should've held on
Now I'm stuck in this place where you are gone
If I could go back, I'd make it alright
You needed me close but I was never near

You needed me close but I was never near
You begged me to fight but I turned away
Now I'm drowning in the price that I have to pay
I let you down when I should've held on

Now I'm stuck in this space where you are gone
If I could go back, I'd make it alright
But I was too scared and you slipped out of sight
Now I face the silence, living here alone

Every wrong I made I see so clear
But you're gone and I'm stuck with this fear
If I could rewind, I'd hold you tight
Erase the pain, make everything right

I take back the lies, take back the tears
I trade this regret for all those lost years
But time don't bend and I'm stuck in this place
Wishing I could see you with forgiveness on your face
