Last night I kept my words inside my head Thoughts like lightning, racing through my bed Built a wall so tall, I couldn’t break free Now I’m lost in silence, just you and me Feels like I’m drowning in words I never said Watching you drift away, like you’re already gone Wish I could turn back time, fix what I broke But now I stand here, feeling so alone I’m sorry, I’m sorry Can’t let pride keep us apart The higher I climb, the more I fall Don’t wanna lose what’s in my heart Say the words, before it’s too late Hold on, don’t walk away I saw your shadow in the morning light A ghost of us, fading out of sight Regret’s a mirror, showing what I missed Wishing I could rewrite this list ©️ JohnOB1 johnafoy@me.com
