Laughed too late, then looked away
Told myself it’s just one day
But the way you bit your lip
Said more than a sinking ship
Coffee cooled, the silence stayed
Everything we never said
I replay it on repeat
In a loop I can’t delete
You were right there, I stood dumb
While my heart forgot to come
Every second stretched so thin
While your patience wore too dim
Could’ve been us, hand in hand
But I watched the moment land
Even though I saw your eyes
I let go of all the tries
Could’ve stayed, but stepped aside
All the fear I tried to hide
Even now I see it clear
You were always standing near
You waited past the café close
I pretended not to know
Wrote your name inside a song
But I played it far too long
Even chairs still hold your lean
Like the pause in every scene
Every table tells our tale
Of a love we let grow pale
Every breath became a wall
While I feared to risk the fall
But your silence held the door
Till it couldn't wait no more
Could’ve been us, hand in hand
But I watched the moment land
Even though I saw your eyes
I let go of all the tries
Could’ve danced beneath the rain
But I froze to dodge the pain
Even if I speak too late
You were more than what I fate
If regret could change the scene
We would be what might have been
All the chances dressed in gold
Now just echoes left to hold
If I’m honest with the past
You were always meant to last
Could’ve been us, hand in hand
But I watched the moment land
Even though I saw your eyes
I let go of all the tries
Now I walk with empty hands
Where you stood, now memory stands
Even if you’ve found your light
You’re the love I lost that night
