I Failed You

I thought I had the answers
But I was blinded by my pride
You were reaching out for someone
And I was never by your side
I kept chasing all my shadows
While you were fading in the night
Now I’m standing in the wreckage
Wishing I could make it right

Didn’t hear you calling
Didn’t see you falling
Now the silence hits me like the truth

I failed you
When you needed me the most
Let the fire turn to smoke
Let your heart turn into ghosts
I failed you
And I can’t rewind the time
But I keep replaying every sign
I missed when I was blind
I failed you

I’m learning from the heartbreak
Every memory burns deep
If I could undo the distance
You know it’s yours I’d choose to keep
I’m holding onto lessons
That your tears taught me to see
How fragile love becomes
When you forget who you should be

Didn’t hear you calling
Didn’t see you falling
Now the truth is louder than the pain

I failed you
When you needed me the most
Let the fire turn to smoke
Let your heart turn into ghosts
I failed you
And I can’t rewind the time
But I keep replaying every sign
I missed when I was blind
I failed you

If redemption has a doorway
I’ll be knocking till it breaks
If forgiveness has a heartbeat
Let it echo through the ache
I know sorry isn’t magic
But I’ll say it anyway
Hoping maybe it can reach you someday

I failed you
But I’m learning from the scars
Tracing where we fell apart
Searching for a softer heart
I failed you
But if ever you return
Know I’m ready now to learn
From the love I didn’t earn
I failed you
