Passing
Echoes of Regret: A Poignant Tale of Lost Time
Lyrics
Back again
Returning to a familiar place
Back in this old house but
Back in an old house, but things have changed
It's not the same
Noticing the difference in the environment
All the colors turned to gray
Colors have faded, symbolic of a dull or sad atmosphere
I just don't think that I can stay
Feeling the need to leave, unable to endure
Footsteps echo through these halls
Hearing echoes of footsteps, creating a haunting atmosphere
They're deafening
The echoes are overwhelming and intense
Breaking silence in my heart
Breaking the emotional silence within
Wish I played a bigger part
Regretting not having a more significant role
Wish I believed I didn't see this happening
Wishing disbelief in the unfolding events
That this caught me by surprise
Expressing surprise at the situation
But you were always on my mind
Acknowledging a persistent thought about someone
Empty walls
Describing surroundings with empty walls
Curtains gone
Noticing the absence of curtains
But your scent still lingers
Despite changes, the person's scent is still present
I had the time
Having had time but letting opportunities slip away
I just let it slip right through my fingers
Regretting not seizing opportunities
Hesitate
Hesitating to move forward
Hesitate to walk on through
Reluctant to confront the inevitable
It's just the same
Recognizing the monotony of everyday life
Every day for twenty years
Two decades of the same routine
Now becoming are my fears
Fears becoming a reality
The weight of everything could crack my glass-like eyes
Feeling overwhelmed by the burdens of life
I guess this is the path I chose
Accepting the consequences of personal choices
Now this chapter has been closed
Closing a significant chapter in life
Empty walls
Reiterating the emptiness in the surroundings
Curtains gone
Noting the absence of curtains once again
But your scent still lingers
The lingering presence of a person despite changes
I had the time
Regret for letting time slip away
I just let it slip right through my fingers
Reflecting on missed opportunities
I held my head up for too long but now I'm done
Enduring challenges but reaching a breaking point
Just hear my final words and right all that I've wronged
Expressing a desire for redemption in final words
I swear I won't
Pledging not to repeat past mistakes
But as the days go by I see I'm on that path
Realizing a path of self-destruction
And all the promises I make they never last
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of promises
Empty walls
Repeating the emptiness in the surroundings
Curtains gone
Reiterating the absence of curtains
But your scent still lingers
The enduring presence of someone's scent
I had the time
Regret for lost time
I just let it slip right through my fingers
Reflecting on missed opportunities once more
And all the words I left unsaid
Expressing the weight of unspoken words
Just know I meant them
Affirming the sincerity of unexpressed feelings
Just know I meant them
Reaffirming the sincerity of unspoken words
