Didn’t see it coming

(Key: G minor, BPM: 75, Style: Red Leather-inspired)

I should’ve seen the way you looked at me,

The quiet sighs, the space you’d leave.

But I was lost inside my selfish mind,

Never thought you’d run out of time.

I let the little things slip through the cracks,

Took for granted you’d always come back.

Now I’m standing in the mess I made,

And your voice is just an echo that fades.

I swear I never meant to make you feel alone,

But I guess my silence cut down to the bone.

Didn’t see it coming, didn’t hear the fall,

Didn’t know I’d lose you ‘til I lost it all.

Now your ghost is dancing in the air I breathe,

And I hate the way you had to leave.

Every memory burns like a neon sign,

Flashing all the words I should’ve said in time.

But no rewind, no second chance,

Just a hollow shell of circumstance.

I swear I never meant to break what we had,

But I let you slip through my careless hands.

Didn’t see it coming, didn’t hear the fall,

Didn’t know I’d lose you ‘til I lost it all.

Now your ghost is dancing in the air I breathe,

And I hate the way you had to leave.

If I could turn back the clock, I’d change the sound,

Make sure you knew I was listening now.

But time is a cruel kind of thief,

Stealing love when you don’t believe.

Didn’t see it coming, but it’s clear as day,

I let you slip, and I let you fade.

Now the weight of words I never said

Keeps me lying here alone in bed.
