Regret

Verse 1

I was eighteen, you were twenty-nine,

Blue sky shining, your hand in mine.

You pulled me out of a heavy place,

Put soft words on a tired face.

Little notes and “I’m sorry” calls,

Kissing silence off the walls.

Pre-Chorus

But time don’t freeze, it shifts and breaks,

And love turns quiet when no one stays.

Chorus

Now I’m wide awake in a crowded room,

But I feel invisible next to you.

The sky turned dark, the colors ran,

I don’t feel like your only girl anymore, I’m just… there when I can.

I’m stuck in a story I didn’t choose,

How do you win when you’re built to lose?

I’m smiling but I’m coming undone,

Still pretending I’m the one.

Verse 2

Your phone glows brighter than my eyes,

Your silence louder every night.

No more letters, no soft goodbye,

Just empty space where we used to try.

I don’t feel safe to even speak,

Like my voice gets lost when I get weak.

And I miss who you used to be,

Or maybe I miss who I thought you’d be.

Pre-Chorus

Now every word feels out of reach,

Like love forgot how to speak.

Chorus

Now I’m wide awake in a crowded room,

But I feel invisible next to you.

The sky turned dark, the colors ran,

I don’t feel like your only girl anymore, I’m just… there when I can.

I’m stuck in a story I didn’t choose,

How do you win when you’re built to lose?

I’m smiling but I’m coming undone,

Still pretending I’m the one.

Bridge

I don’t know what’s holding me here,

Love or fear or disappearing years.

If I stay, I lose myself in the fight,

If I leave, I lose the light.

Outro

I was eighteen, you were twenty-nine…

Now I’m wide awake… and I’m not fine.
