Why Didn't I Let You Go

[Intro]
Silent words, too hard to say
Holdin' back, from breaking away

[Verse 1]
Caught in the silence, where love used to grow
Questions echo, why didn’t I let you go?
Heart on the standstill, stuck in the flow
Tried to hold on, but didn’t want to lose control

[Pre-Chorus]
Why didn’t you say no, just walk away?
Why did I keep holding on, day after day?
Regrets like shadows, they follow so low
Wish I’d let you go, wish I’d let you go

[Chorus]
Why didn’t I just say no, when the pain started to show?
Why did I keep holding on, when I knew I should let you go?
Now I stand in the rain, with a heart that won’t slow
Asking myself, why didn’t I just say no?

[Bridge]
Every word unspoken, a ghost in my mind
Lessons I never learned, left behind
Time keeps linin’ up, a steady, slow echo
If only I knew then, how much I’d regret so

[Outro]
So here I am, with the stories untold
Wishing I could go back, break free from this hold
Maybe next time, I’ll finally say it so
That I won’t have to wonder—why didn’t I let you go?
