Too Late to Say I’m Sorry

Too Late to Say I’m Sorry

I watched you leave without a word
My silence louder than you'd ever heard
I had a chance to make it right
But pride held on too tight that night

Now every sunrise feels like shame
And every breath still calls your name
You gave your all, I let you down
Now I wear this loss like a crown

It’s too late to say I’m sorry
But I whisper it each night
In every song, in every memory
I’m losing you in plain sight
I thought I’d have forever
But forever walked away
Now all I own is sorrow
For the words I didn’t say

Your favorite coat still hangs inside
And every room still feels your light
But I can’t step where we once stood
Without wishing I’d understood

You begged for truth, I gave you lies
I turned from tears in your eyes
Now I trace back every mile
Wishing I could make you smile

It’s too late to say I’m sorry
But I bleed it in the dark
In every echo, every silence
In the pieces of my heart
I thought I’d have forever
But forever slipped away
Now all I own is sorrow
For the love I didn’t save

If I could turn the hands of time
I'd hold your hurt and make it mine
But time moves on, and I stand still
Drowning in this bitter chill

It’s too late to say I’m sorry
But it haunts me every day
You deserved a better ending
Than watching me drift away
I thought I’d have forever
But forever doesn’t wait
Now all I own is sorrow
And this cold, unspoken fate
