[Verse]
I saw the clock but turned away
It ticked so loud but I let it sway
Thought I had more
Thought they’d stay
But time
It whispered
Not today
[Prechorus]
I held the map but lost the road
Carried the weight but dropped the load
[Chorus]
If only time could wait
Could pause
Could bend
If only choices came back 'round again
I'd hold their hands
I'd stand my ground
But now I’m left with silence’s sound
[Verse 2]
I wrote the script but missed the cues
A play where hearts wore fragile shoes
Could’ve fought harder
Could’ve pushed through
Now all I have is could’ve
Too
[Bridge]
Regret’s a ghost that holds my face
A shadow in every empty space
But they loved me
I know they knew
Even when I didn’t know what to do
[Chorus]
If only time could wait
Could pause
Could bend
If only choices came back 'round again
I'd hold their hands
I’d stand my ground
But now I’m left with silence’s sound
