Signs I Missed

Verse 1
I keep replaying every night
Every moment, every fight
Looking for the things I swore
Were never there before

Every time I almost broke
Every time I lost my hope
Every door that didn’t close
When I thought I was alone

Pre-Chorus
Maybe I just couldn’t see
What was right in front of me

Chorus
All the signs I missed
Every time you whispered in the wind
Every second I dismissed
Like it never meant a thing

All the nights I cried
Swearing you were never by my side
Now I’m wondering if I
Just refused to listen

Verse 2
Every stranger passing through
Every word that pulled me through
Every time I almost quit
But somehow didn’t do it

Maybe I just filled the gaps
With the worst of what I lacked
Blamed the silence on your name
When I couldn’t face the pain

Pre-Chorus
Maybe I just couldn’t see
What was right in front of me

Chorus
All the signs I missed
Every time you whispered in the wind
Every second I dismissed
Like it never meant a thing

All the nights I cried
Swearing you were never by my side
Now I’m wondering if I
Just refused to listen

Bridge (soft)
If you were there all along
While I said that you were gone
Does that mean I was wrong?
Or just scared to move on?

Maybe faith is looking back
At the places that I cracked
And seeing something in the black
That I couldn’t understand

Final Chorus (soaring)
All the signs I missed
Every time you reached through the abyss
Every doubt I tried to twist
Into something meaningless

All the nights I cried
Swearing you were never by my side
Now I’m wondering if I
Just refused to listen

Looking back for meaning—soft but heavy, emo rock reflecting on moments that may have been signs all along.
