Things I Wish I Said

Silent nights and empty rooms, shadows keep me company

Wishing I could turn back time, hold on to what we had perfectly

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

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

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

If only I could turn the clock, reverse this endless pain

Speak the words I left unspoken, erase the bitter shame

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

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

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

Though you’re gone, your voice remains, in every prayer I pray

Things I wish I said, forever in my heart they stay

Hold onto love, and never let it fade away

Things I wish I said, in the end, they’re here to stay
