Lyric

Saw you today, after all these years

A ghost in the daylight, a ghost in my tears

You’re smiling now, a brighter light

Than the one I saw fade in the dead of night

Your eyes hold a peace I never knew

A kind of joy I couldn’t give to you

And I’m walking home on a different street

With a different life, and it feels incomplete

‘Cause I see the woman you’ve become, so free

And I’m haunted by the man I failed to be

The way you laugh, a familiar sound

But a happiness I’m no longer around

You talked about him, a gentle grace

And a jealous ache found its lonely place

I built my world on the broken ground

Of the love I should’ve fought to have and found

And I’m walking home on a different street

With a different life, and it feels incomplete

‘Cause I see the woman you’ve become, so free

And I’m haunted by the man I failed to be

They say you can't live with regret, but I do

Every single day, I live with the thought of you

The one that got away, the one I let go

The seeds of my sorrow, I watched them grow

And I’m walking home on a different street

With a different life, and it feels incomplete

‘Cause I see the woman you’ve become, so free

And I’m haunted by the man I failed to be
