If Only

Noriko

We fought over nothing

And I let my pride burn everything

I sent you away in the pouring rain

Blind to the love I should have held

I thought I’d win when you came back home

I thought I’d hear you say “I’m sorry.”

But I was too blind, too lost in myself

To see the truth, to see your heart

I should have held you close

I should have stayed—

But I turned my love

Into a cruel mistake

And now you’re gone

I can’t turn back the night

Your final word was “sorry,”

Then silence cut my life

And the gift you carried

Stained with crimson pain

Is all that I have left of you—

And I’ll never be the same

I called in anger

Deaf to the fear in the silence

Your voice was trembling, so weak, so small:

“Forgive me, I ruined your gift tonight.”

Then came a voice, cold and unknown

Tearing my soul apart inside:

“She’s been struck down

She’s fading away…”

And I had already lost my light

I should have sheltered you

I should have stayed—

But I turned my love

Into a cruel mistake

And now you’re gone

I can’t turn back the night

Your trembling hands still holding

What I had cast aside

And in that sterile room

Your warmth slipped away

Leaving me with ashes

Of the love I betrayed

If I could give my breath to you

If I could turn back time tonight

I would break the chains of fate

To bring you back to life!

But now you’re gone

And the past won’t let me go

The gift you carried

Stained with red, tells me all I need to know

I lost what I should have treasured

By my own careless hand—

And I’ll spend forever broken

Just a shattered man

In the falling rain

I whisper your name…

Forever in pain
