[Intro: Man] I was lost in my own maze, caught in a haze, Thought I had more time, more days. Feeding the shadows that haunted me, Afraid of change, too scared to see. Content with my fallback, my excuse, Blinded by fears I couldn't lose. And I wasn’t ready to be the man you needed, In my silence, our love unseated. [Verse 1: Man] I hid behind my walls, kept my heart at bay, Drifted through nights, let my demons play. Thought I was doing fine, just surviving the pain, Never knew I was hurting us, causing the rain. Thought I could fix it, someday, somehow, But I was afraid to change, fearful now. Sorry I broke us, didn’t mean to fall, In the end, I broke myself most of all. [Pre-Chorus: Man] I never wanted to see you cry, But I kept my truth in silent lie. I pushed away what I couldn’t hold, Now I see the stories left untold. [Chorus: Both] Man: I was lost in my fears, couldn’t face the dawn, Woman: I wanted you here, I needed you strong. Man: I thought I could run, hide from the pain, Woman: But I was here, waiting in vain. Together: Why does love sometimes break us apart, Yet stay in the corner of our hearts? [Verse 2: Woman] I remember the nights I begged you to stay, To face the darkness and find our way. I needed your strength, your hand in mine, Not just to survive, but to shine. You told me you weren’t ready to be the man, Who could make me whole, do all I demand. But I wanted your heart, honest and true, Not the shadows you tried to pull us through. [Pre-Chorus: Woman] I wanted us to grow, to heal, to mend, To build a love that wouldn’t bend. I couldn’t understand the fears inside, Why you ran when I wanted you to stay by my side. [Chorus: Both] Man: I was lost in my fears, couldn’t face the dawn, Woman: I wanted you here, I needed you strong. Man: I thought I could run, hide from the pain, Woman: But I was here, waiting in vain. Together: Why does love sometimes break us apart, Yet stay in the corner of our hearts? [Bridge: Man] Now I see the tears I caused to fall, Sorry for the damage, the silent call. Though I broke your heart, I also broke my soul, I was scared to lose control. [Outro: Man] So here I stand, with a heavy heart, Knowing I was the one who tore us apart. I’m sorry for breaking what we had, But in the end, I broke my own worst sad. [End: Both] We loved, we lost, we tried to hold on, In the broken pieces, our love’s gone, But still in our hearts, a lesson, a scar, That love’s sometimes distant, yet never truly far.
