Why Didn't I Let You Go

Silent words, too hard to say

Holdin' back, from breaking away

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

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

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?

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

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?
