What Might Have Been

[Intro]
Hold my breath, I'm on the edge of time
Counting moments that I cannot rewind

[Verse 1]
Staring at the ghost of what we used to be
Lost in shadows, haunted by what I can't see
Every memory, a slipping sand in my hand
Wishing I could turn back, catch what was so grand

[Pre-Chorus]
But if I let go now, could I escape this pain?
Or lose a part of me that won't remain?
Caught between love and fear, a bittersweet refrain
Forever mourning what was meant to be again

[Chorus]
If I let go now, I’d drown in tears unseen
A life unlived, a shattered dream in between
Holding onto what might've been, what might've been
But if I let go, would I heal or just pretend?
The loss of us, the might-have-been
Waves crashing down, where love used to begin

[Bridge]
Maybe in another life, we’d find our way
But here and now, I gotta face the day
Letting go feels like losing all I knew
But staying stuck keeps me from breaking through

[Pre-Chorus]
But if I let go now, could I escape this pain?
Or lose a part of me that won't remain?
Caught between love and fear, a bittersweet refrain
Forever mourning what was meant to be again

[Chorus]
If I let go now, I’d drown in tears unseen
A life unlived, a shattered dream in between
Holding onto what might've been, what might've been
But if I let go, would I heal or just pretend?
The loss of us, the might-have-been
Waves crashing down, where love used to begin

[Outro]
So I’ll hold this ache, deep in my soul
Forever mourning, but striving to be whole
If I let go now, I know what I’d leave behind
A love eternal, etched in time
