(Verse 1)
I walk alone in shadows, burdened by the leaf,
Loved you in silence, had to hide it underneath.
Eyes like yours deserved the light, not this grief,
But I traded peace for pain, just to grant 'em brief relief.
Danzo’s whispers, orders wrapped in steel,
Wipe my clan or watch the village kneel.
So I chose the blade, wore a cursed seal,
Killed my kin for the dream I couldn’t feel.
We were just kids with forever in our hands,
But I broke that hourglass, grains turned to sand.
I saw you sleepin’—placed you in that dreamland,
Where we got married, old souls still hand in hand.
(Hook)
Forgive me, Izumi, for the nights I stole,
I was ninja first, but you had my soul.
I died in life so the world could be whole,
But you lived in peace—no forks in the road.
No kunai, no masks, just stories untold—
You smiled more with less, in that genjutsu I wrote.
(Verse 2)
Told Sasuke to hate me, paint me as the storm,
So he’d grow strong, even if his heart was torn.
Wore the Akatsuki robe, face cold and worn,
Killed my best friend just to unlock the form.
Mangekyō eyes, seein’ through the lies,
But couldn’t face yours when I said goodbye.
They called me traitor, let my name decay,
But it was always you I saw when I’d pray.
How do you explain to the one you adore
That love means leavin’ them, closing the door?
I saved you from this world’s blood and war—
A mercy kill, not to hurt, but restore.
(Bridge)
Yeah, I watched you fade, tears in my eyes,
Your last breath soft like Konoha skies.
But in that genjutsu, we had no cries,
Only anniversaries and sunrise highs.
(Hook)
Forgive me, Izumi, for the life we missed,
The kids, the laughs, every gentle kiss.
But I gave you peace—no choices to twist,
You lived with joy in eternal bliss.
No war, no pain, no truths dismissed—
Just us, forever, in that one last gift.
(Outro)
They’ll never know what I paid in the end,
My body a weapon, my soul couldn't mend.
But if I could walk back, rewrite fate’s bend—
I'd still choose you, my love, my friend.
So sleep in light, where love transcends—
While I fade in dusk… until time suspends.
