Said Sorry Too Late..

We built a home on words we never said

Tiptoed truth like ghosts inside our heads

You slammed the door, I blamed the wind outside

Both of us were wrong—but swallowed pride

You wore your silence like a loaded gun

I pulled the trigger just to prove I’d won

We called it love but never took the fall

Our Ego’s of nothing on a paper wall

We could’ve bent, we could’ve healed

But we just hid behind the shield

Of “I’m okay” and “you’re the one to blame”

Now every echo screams your name

Why didn’t we say it when it mattered?

Why did we wait ‘til everything shattered?

Sorry’s a word we buried alive

Now it’s too late to say we tried

We were fire, we were reckless

Too proud to ever confess it

Now we’re ashes in the rain

Screaming truth through all the pain

We lost it all ‘cause we couldn’t say—

“I was wrong… please stay…”

You kept a list of every scar I made

I kept pretending it would fade away

We turned forgiveness into foreign ground

No white flags when we were going down

I saw your tears but chose to look away

You heard my hurt but never let it stay

Two broken mirrors facing face to face

Reflecting blame we never could erase

We drew the lines we wouldn’t cross

Then burned the bridge and called it loss

No one won, but we both kept score

Now love’s a war we can’t restore

Why didn’t we say it when it mattered?

Why did we wait ‘til everything shattered?

Sorry’s a word we buried alive

Now it’s too late to say we tried

We were fire, we were reckless

Too proud to ever confess it

Now we’re shadows of our past

Learning truth that came too fast

We lost it all ‘cause we couldn’t say—

“I was wrong… please stay…”

What if one of us just broke the chain?

Dropped the armor, took the blame?

Would we still be standing here?

Or did pride make love disappear…

I’d trade my voice, my breath, my soul

Just to hear you say “I know…”

But silence is the loudest grave

For words we never had the strength to say

We should’ve said it when it mattered

Before forever turned to shattered

Sorry’s a word that could’ve saved

Everything we threw away

We were love, we were human

Just too blind to prove it

Now the truth cuts like a blade

Through every choice we never made

We lost it all ‘cause we couldn’t say—

“I was wrong… please stay…”

Now every “almost” haunts the night

Every silence proves us right

The hardest words we never gave…

Are the ones that could’ve saved… us.
