Departure

(Verse 1) Staring blankly as you walk away, Frozen in place, don't know what to say. In this moment suspended, I'm stuck in time, Lost in the echoes of what once was mine. You're drifting further, fading into the light, While I'm standing still, drowning in the night. Regrets fill my heart, like a crashing wave, As I watch you leave, I'm a prisoner in this cave. (Pre-Chorus) Should've held you close, should've made you stay, But now you're gone, and it's too late to sway. Every step you take, feels like a knife, Carving out the pieces of my shattered life. (Chorus) I'm just standing here, watching you go, Feeling the weight of what I didn't show. Lost in the shadows of what could've been, But now you're gone, and I'm left within. (Verse 2) I should've whispered love, should've held your hand, But now I'm stranded here, in this barren land. The silence screams louder, as you fade from view, Leaving me alone, with memories so blue. Every memory, a bittersweet melody, Reminding me of what we used to be. I'm haunted by the echoes, of your fading smile, Knowing that I let you go, in my denial. (Pre-Chorus) Should've held you close, should've made you stay, But now you're gone, and it's too late to sway. Every step you take, feels like a knife, Carving out the pieces of my shattered life. (Chorus) I'm just standing here, watching you go, Feeling the weight of what I didn't show. Lost in the shadows of what could've been, But now you're gone, and I'm left within. (Bridge) I'll close my eyes and dream, of a different fate, Where I held you tight, and didn't hesitate. But reality crashes in, and I'm left to see, That you're walking away, and it's all because of me. (Chorus) I'm just standing here, watching you go, Feeling the weight of what I didn't show. Lost in the shadows of what could've been, But now you're gone, and I'm left within. (Outro) So I'll stand here in silence, as you fade from sight, Knowing that I let you go, without putting up a fight. And as you walk away, I'll be forever in dismay, Just standing here, as you go your own way.
