Things I Wish I Said

[Intro: Husband]
Silent nights and empty rooms, shadows keep me company
Wishing I could turn back time, hold on to what we had perfectly

[Intro: Wife]
Echoes of our laughter fade, but in my mind they stay alive
Miss the warmth of your embrace, the way you made me feel alive

[Verse 1: Husband]
Driving home, I didn't see the clouds, my mind was lost in a thousand thoughts
If I could change the way that day was, I’d have said the words I forgot

[Verse 1: Wife]
I was waiting by the door, for you to come back home to me
Never thought that final moment would be our last, so tragically

[Pre-Chorus: Husband & Wife]
If only I could turn the clock, reverse this endless pain
Speak the words I left unspoken, erase the bitter shame

[Chorus: Both]
Things I wish I said, before the silence grew too loud
Hold my words like a lifeline, in the darkness now I’m found
Things I wish I said, to tell you how much you mean
Love that’s lost in echoes, fading in the in-between

[Bridge: Husband]
I’d have held you closer, told you how much you’re my everything
Would’ve fought for just one moment, to hear your voice and feel your wings

[Bridge: Wife]
If I could reach through time and space, I’d say I love you more each day
Keep the memories alive, in every word I wish I’d say

[Outro: Husband & Wife]
Though you’re gone, your voice remains, in every prayer I pray
Things I wish I said, forever in my heart they stay

[Outro: Both]
Hold onto love, and never let it fade away
Things I wish I said, in the end, they’re here to stay
