(Verse 1)
I wished they slipped
instead of them letting go
Oh all the things I could’ve done
but all I did was run
Far away to where happiness could be within our reach
And we were so happy so I was scared
Now I stand at the very edge
As I watch the light of my life flicker away once again
(Pre-Chorus)
Loneliness is the only companion I could
tell the stories between these frames to
When the width of our smile was out of our reach
When I could do nothing but it was still more than enough for you
(1st Chorus)
I’m sorry that I could only love you
I’m sorry that it was easy crying
But not when it comes to trying
Crossing tallies ever since you left
I wish I get to live in the present
But I’m still stuck in the past
I wish I could tell you that I’ve never looked at love that way
That it was the rain that smudged the smile on your face
Not the tears you cry for someone who doesn’t deserve it anyway
(Verse 2)
I had reasons to stay
But I only needed one to stay away
So I wouldn’t lie here wide awake
Thinking what if our fate was a choice
Now I’m running out of excuses to blame
Cause they won’t bring back the only thing I can’t afford
(Pre-Chorus)
A step forward
Is one step further away from you
And I don’t wanna be anywhere without you
Yeah I’ve lost you but I’m losing myself too
So I keep moving on like how everybody wants me to
But the world don’t seem to care cause everywhere I go reminds me of you
(2nd Chorus)
I’m sorry that I can’t be happy for you
I’m sorry that the things I did was all I could do
Crossing tallies ever since you left
I wish I get to live in the present
But I’m stuck in the past
I wish I could love you enough
I don’t mind it being a lil too much
You said “wait a second”
But now I’m waiting forever
(Bridge)
Regrets come from the fact that I can only choke on the words I never got to say
Thought I could get away with it but I was the mistake
I made you think that I had good intentions when those were just my own selfish reasons
And so I wished
your hands slipped
like how the priceless chances did
(Verse 1)
I wished they slipped
instead of them letting go
Oh all the things I could’ve done
but all I did was run
Far away to where happiness could be within our reach
And we were so happy so I was scared
Now I stand at the very edge
As I watch the light of my life flicker away once again
(Pre-Chorus)
Loneliness is the only companion I could
tell the stories between these frames to

Just an 18 years old girl who’s irrevocably in love with books and music. My journey as a lyricist began when I was 13 and my passion for and skills in lyrics-writing has all but blossomed fervently throughout the years. My greatest inspiration has been undoubtedly the songwriting queen herself — Taylor Swift and as someone who merely has experience in writing lyrics, I aspire to be as talented as she is in writing and producing songs one day.
