Promises in Shadows

I told you that I’d pick you, but I lost my way,

Watching all the chances slowly fade away.

Still every road I wander leads me back to you,

A heart full of regret and a love that’s true.

I know that words are fragile, I’ve broken them before,

Left you standing wounded at a closing door.

But if there’s any mercy left inside your eyes,

I’ll spend forever proving what survives.

And every tear that falls tonight,

Reminds me of the things I couldn’t make right.

Though I’m drowning in the past I’ve made,

Your memory is the light that stays.

Maybe I’m too late,

Maybe I’ve crossed the line.

Maybe you’ve found a better love,

And left this heart behind.

But if you hear my voice

In the silence of the rain,

Know that every beat inside my chest

Still whispers your name.

So if tomorrow brings another chance to start,

I’ll carry every lesson etched upon my heart.

No more running back, no more disguise,

Just the truth reflected in my eyes.

And though I’ve fallen more than I can explain,

I’d walk through every storm, through every pain.

Because beneath the wreckage, beneath the lies,

You’re the love that never dies.
