If I Said It Sooner

(Intro)

I keep replaying every moment in my mind,

Every silence, every missed sign,

If I could go back, I know what I’d say…

I’d say I love you, but now you’re gone, and it’s too late,

(Verse 1)

I remember you waiting on my voice,

Every silence felt like it was my choice,

You held my hand, I never said enough,

You were always holding onto us,

You were standing right there by my side,

I was lost in my head, my thoughts I’d hide,

You gave me every chance to prove to you,

But I never made a move now I’m blue,

Every moment slowly slipped away,

And I felt you drifting day by day,

(Verse 2)

I thought forever was on our side,

Didn’t see you slowly say goodbye,

I was scared of saying how I feel,

Now I’m wishing it was real,

I regret every word that I missed,

Every moment that could’ve been this,

I had everything I needed then,

But I never said it back then,

I made mistakes and I have regrets,

Cause I never told you that I love you yet,

(Pre-Chorus)

You were waiting for a sign,

I thought we had more time,

Now you’re gone from my life,

And I’m stuck here asking why,

(Chorus)

If I said it sooner, you might’ve stayed with me,

If I said it sooner, we’d be how we used to be,

You were holding on, I couldn’t help you see,

Now I’m holding on to what we couldn’t be,

We were close but now torn apart,

Timing broke our loving heart,

All that’s left is just a rumor,

If I said it… if I said it sooner,

(Verse 3)

Now you’re walking down a different road,

Trying not to carry what we broke,

Found someone who says the words,

Everything I never showed,

And it kills me knowing he’s there,

Saying all the things I never dared,

Even when I try to move along,

I still feel like something’s wrong,

(Verse 4)

I hear your name and shed a tear,

Thinking ‘bout what I lost this year,

You found someone who says it right,

While I was too late to say “I love you” right,

I wish I could turn back time,

Just to tell you I love you this time,

Now I’m standing, regretting mistakes,

Watching all our memories fade away,

It’s so hard for me to say how I feel,

I was scared back then, now I know it’s real,

Now you’re gone, I’m barely holding on,

Too late to say I’ve loved you all along,

(Bridge)

Where was I when you needed truth?

I was just scared of losing you,

But I lost you anyway,

And I think about it every day,

We were almost everything,

Now we’re nothing we once dreamed,

Just a story left untold,

From a love that turned too cold,

(Final Chorus)

If I said it sooner, maybe you’d have stayed,

If I said it sooner, we’d have found a way,

Now you’re moving on, even through the pain,

And I’m still stuck inside the words I couldn’t say,

We were close but worlds apart,

Now I’m living with the scars,

All that’s left is just a rumor,

If I said it… if I said it sooner,

Yeah… if I said it sooner…

(Outro)

I wish I said it when you were still here,

Now you’re gone, and now I know…

I love you

I love youuuuu

Yeah I’ve always loved you

But now it’s too late
