Longing for What Was

Verse 1: In the quiet of the night, when he’s asleep, I lie awake, secrets to keep, I chose a path that led me astray, Now I’m longing for the love I gave away. Pre-Chorus: Years have passed, but the feelings remain, A heart filled with regret, a soul in pain, I see your face in every dream, A love so real, or so it seemed. Chorus: I married the wrong man, now I see, Trapped in a life that wasn't meant for me, I yearn for the days when we were young, For the love that slipped, for the song unsung. Verse 2: His touch is cold, his words are few, In his arms, I think of you, I wonder if you feel the same, Or if you’ve forgotten my name. Pre-Chorus: Every smile hides a broken heart, Wishing I could go back to the start, To the days when love was pure, Before I locked myself in this unsure. Chorus: I married the wrong man, now I see, Trapped in a life that wasn't meant for me, I yearn for the days when we were young, For the love that slipped, for the song unsung. Bridge: If I could turn back time, I’d choose you, Rewrite the story, make it true, But now I’m lost in this charade, Paying the price for the choices made. Chorus: I married the wrong man, now I see, Trapped in a life that wasn't meant for me, I yearn for the days when we were young, For the love that slipped, for the song unsung. Outro: So here I am, with a heart that’s torn, Living with the love I mourn, Forever dreaming of what was, Forever longing for what never was.
