Too Late to Find You (v.2)

[Intro]
(Sparse piano, faint breath, distant clock tick)
I left my phone face-down…
But the silence still screamed your name.

[Verse 1]
I told myself it was just a moment, just a crack in the dark,
But I handed you the match and walked away from the spark.
You saw the messages, I saw you shut down,
I called it “complicated,” you called it “drown.”
I gave you reasons, I gave you space,
While your quiet turned heavy, I just picked up my pace.
I thought love was a game we could pause and rewind,
Didn’t know some fractures just shatter the mind.

[Chorus]
And I finally see it, but the bed’s already cold,
I traded your trust for a story untold.
I was the fracture, I broke what was true,
Now I’m haunted by the echo of losing you.
I should’ve chosen you, I should’ve stayed clean,
But the truth came too late to rewrite the scene.
Yeah, the world keeps turning, but my hands are stained,
I broke your heart… and I’ll never be the same.

[Verse 2]
I replay every lie like a record on skip,
Every “I’m fine” that I let slip.
You didn’t yell, you just folded inside,
While I was out dancing with someone else’s pride.
I know it was me, I won’t hide from the glass,
I watched the light leave and I let it pass.
Now guilt is the roommate I can’t evict,
Every breath I take feels like picking at a stitch.

[Chorus]
And I finally see it, but the bed’s already cold,
I traded your trust for a story untold.
I was the fracture, I broke what was true,
Now I’m haunted by the echo of losing you.
I should’ve chosen you, I should’ve stayed clean,
But the truth came too late to rewrite the scene.
Yeah, the world keeps turning, but my hands are stained,
I broke your heart… and I’ll never be the same.

[Outro]
(Acoustic guitar, soft vocals, fading synth)
I’ll carry the weight of the line that I crossed,
Whisper “I’m sorry” to the love that I lost.
You deserved a whole heart, I gave you a split,
And now I just live with the silence I made.
I see it so clearly… but the door’s locked tight.
I broke you… and I’ll pay with the light.
(Single piano note, then silence)
