Lyrics
[Verse]
The leash hangs cold on the hook by the door
A ghost of a walk we won't take anymore
I count the steps I didn’t make
A hundred echoes
Each a mistake
[Chorus]
Was it me
Was it fate
Did I open the gate
Or was the world just cruel that day
Was it me
Was it fate
I still carry the weight
Though I know you’d tell me
It's okay
[Verse 2]
The bowl sits empty
I still fill it at night
I leave the light on
Like you need the light
I dream you’re here
And wake to the lie
The "what ifs" scream louder than the sky
[Prechorus]
The blame wraps tight
Like a second skin
But deep down I know
It wasn’t my sin
[Chorus]
Was it me
Was it fate
Did I open the gate
Or was the world just cruel that day
Was it me
Was it fate
I still carry the weight
Though I know you’d tell me
It's okay
[Bridge]
I hear your paws in the quiet rain
A phantom sound
A comfort
A pain
If I could rewrite time
Make it rewind
I’d bring you back
Leave guilt behind
