My mind replays our final words, a loop of pain
A tape that won't stop, a heart in strain
I replay the moments, the choices I made
Wondering where it all went wrong, the mistakes I've played
If only I had spoken up, or listened more
Maybe things would be different, maybe he'd still be here for sure
I question every decision, every step I took
Torturing myself, with what-ifs and if-onlys, a constant hook
The weight of guilt and regret, it presses down
A heavy burden, a weight that I've never known
I'm lost in a sea of self-doubt and fear
A prisoner of my own, unable to break free from here
But maybe, just maybe, it's not all my fault
Maybe some things were meant to unfold, a different path to take
Maybe I'll learn to let go, to release the pain
And find a way to heal, to love again.
