Whispered Goodbyes

[Verse 1] Remember that night, the stars too shy to shine, We talked till the sun dared to rise. Now rooms feel colder, as seasons slide, And your laughter's just an echo on my mind. [Chorus] If I could trace back to one regret, It’s how my silence met your steps. We could’ve been more than whispered goodbyes, Lost in the echo of what if and why. [Verse 2] Every street corner, a memory’s stage, Plays out scenes I can’t engage. You were the calm in my restless tides, Now just a shadow in the flood of city lights. [Chorus] If I could trace back to one regret, It’s how my silence met your steps. We could’ve been more than whispered goodbyes, Lost in the echo of what if and why. [Bridge] You might find this all too late, Words I hide, now resonate. In the quiet, I confess, You were my every maybe, my silent yes. [Verse 3] So here’s to the nights where dreams lay bare, To the moments your fingers lost in my hair. I know I let go when I should’ve tried, Trapped in my doubts, letting you slide. [Chorus] If I could trace back to one regret, It’s how my silence met your steps. We could’ve been more than whispered goodbyes, Lost in the echo of what if and why. Lost in the echo of what if and why. [Verse 3] So here’s to the nights where dreams lay bare, To the moments your fingers lost in my hair. [reverb-heavy guitar] [Build] [pre-Chorus] I know I let go when I should’ve tried, Trapped in my doubts, letting you slide. [big dramatic Chorus] [Forte] [intense] If I could trace back to one regret, It’s how my silence met your steps. We could’ve been more than whispered goodbyes, Lost in the echo of what if and why. (guitar solo) [Outro] As the night folds its arms around the day, I walk the paths where we once lay. Holding onto what time erases, Finding peace in the empty spaces. [end]
