Lyric

I’ll never know

What you wanted to say

Missed your call—now you’re too far away

Ooh I’ll never know

What lingered on the other side

If I’d answered, could I change the tide?

The phone kept ringing in that quiet room

I didn’t realize you’d be gone so soon

I replay the moment, not picking up that night

Still trying to accept you’re out of sight

Wondering what you needed, what I might have missed

If things might be different, if only I’d answered

Regret sits quietly where your words should be

If I’d been there, would you still talk to me?

These questions echo, filling up the days

Reality settles in unfamiliar ways

I’ll never know

What you hoped I’d hear

What you left unsaid now disappears

Ooh I’ll never know

If I could’ve eased your mind

But your lessons stay, gentle and kind

You showed me life’s fragile form

How brief it is—a moment warm

Regret will always follow me through

But I’ll move ahead, slowly, like you’d want me to

With your wisdom I’ll try to see

A bit more beauty in what’s around me

Carrying you as I go

Though I’ll never know
