Verse 1 (the past & regret):
“Back in those high school halls, you were something rare,
Said you’d wait for me, promised you’d be there.
But I was blind, chasing shadows in my head,
Left your love behind, chose another road instead.”
⸻
Pre-Chorus:
“Now I see the truth I couldn’t then,
Wishing I could go back in time again.”
⸻
Chorus (the heart of the song):
“I still want to try, even miles apart,
The distance is heavy, but you’re still in my heart.
If you’ll let me prove it, if you’ll give me a sign,
I’ll fight through the silence, to make you mine.”
⸻
Verse 2 (the present):
“I know your heart is healing, it’s too fresh, too soon,
I don’t want to rush you, don’t want to take that room.
But I can’t hide this feeling that’s been haunting me,
Even in the uniform, you’re all I want to see.”
⸻
Bridge (raw confession):
“I messed it up once, I won’t pretend,
If you give me the chance, I won’t let it end.
I’ll carry your love wherever I go,
Stronger than the battles, it’s all I know.”
⸻
Final Chorus (hopeful):
“I still want to try, though the road is long,
With you in my corner, I know I’ll stay strong.
If your heart can trust me, then I won’t let go,
I’ll fight for this love, just to let you know.”
