**Title: Echoes of Regret**
*Verse 1:*
In the glow of the night, I let the shadows creep,
Words like daggers, cutting promises we’d keep.
You showered me with love, wrapped in your embrace,
But I wore a mask of pride, lost in my own space.
*Chorus:*
Now I’m standing in the ruins, where we used to dream,
Drowning in the silence, nothing's what it seems.
I disrespected the treasure that your heart could bring,
Now you're just a memory, a ghost of everything.
*Verse 2:*
I took your kindness lightly, like a fleeting breeze,
Ignoring all the signs, I brought you to your knees.
You gave me endless chances, love wrapped in defeat,
But my heart was blind, never saw your quiet plea.
*Chorus:*
Now I’m standing in the ruins, where we used to dream,
Drowning in the silence, nothing's what it seems.
I disrespected the treasure that your heart could bring,
Now you're just a memory, a ghost of everything.
*Bridge:*
I see the tears you hid behind that brave façade,
Each moment I dismissed, that time I could’ve had.
The echoes of our laughter, now they haunt my soul,
I built this wall of distance, now it’s taken its toll.
*Verse 3:*
I wish I could rewind, take back all my mistakes,
Rewrite every chapter, undo all the heartaches.
But in this empty silence, I face the bitter truth,
Love should’ve been my anchor,
