Because I Was Afraid

[Verse 1]
It's been a month of sundays I'm starting to realize
I should have stared longer into those lovely eyes
Now I'm shaking, breaking, missing a phantom touch
I just keep looking for you, missing your rush
[Chorus]
You know my fears, they beg me
They ask me to tuck them in
You know my heart it drags me
My every breath is sin
[Verse 2]
Nights are cold, I'm haunted by your ghost
Every shadow whispers, it's you I miss the most
In the dark, my mind replays your name
And I'm left wondering if you feel the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Regret's a heavy chain, pulling me down
In this empty room, silence is the loudest sound
In the dark, my mind replays your name
And I'm left wondering if you feel the same
Regret's a heavy chain, pulling me down
In this empty room, silence is the loudest sound
Every beat of my heart, a reminder of the pain
Wishing I could turn back, to feel your love again
[Chorus]
You know my fears, they beg me
They ask me to tuck them in
You know my heart, it drags me
My very breath is sin
I let you go, and now I pay the price
Haunted by the memories, and your sacrifice
[Bridge]
In the mirror, I see the boy I used to be
Lost in the fear, trapped in a reverie
If I could hold you now, I'd never let you go
But my cowardice has left me, in this endless woe
[Chorus]
You know my fears, they beg me
They ask me to tuck them in
You know my heart, it drags me
My very breath is sin
I let you go, and now I pay the price
Haunted by the memories, and your sacrifice
[Outro]
Because I was afraid, I pushed you away
Now I'm left in the darkness, where the shadows play
If I could turn back time, I’d right my wrongs
But now I’m left with echoes, and these haunting songs
Don't lose my number, lover girl. If you call, I'll answer.
