Silence fills my chest

I still recall how you looked your best

The world is loud and dark, but we refuse to fall

Was the path we took worth it all?

Were we naive with bounded strength

To dare the fate we couldn’t bend

but side by side, we marched through the fire, hoped for a new life, we turned the tide

Now ghosts in our memory

"(You were the light I see)

(It wasn’t meant to be)"

I still hear your voice in the storm

Like truth I can’t transform

I still drown in what we were before

Simmering

Lingering, I

Watched our future turn to ash

Now you’re buried in the past

Simmering

Lingering

Wish you’d last

I took the necessary step

But history might forget

Now time won’t let me take a breath from

Simmering

Lingering, I

Struck you down to save the rest

To wear this cursed regret

Could I have saved you from death

is it

For the best

Nonetheless

(You were the light I see)
