歌詞

The rain falls heavy, then soft and slow

In the twilight where the thunder starts to grow

I see your crying face, a ghost from the past

Clutching at my heart, a shadow that’ll last

I threw those freezing words, sharp as a blade

Shutting every door, watching the light fade

On that day, when everything fell apart

I should have just held you, held you in my arms

Kept you safe and warm, away from all the harms

But I couldn’t bear to see the tears in your eyes

So I broke us instead, under the stormy skies

I should have just held you... that’s my only prize

"It won't fall down," I said with a lie

Trying to comfort you while the world passed us by

We stared at the candle, that tiny, weak flame

Trembling in the dark, calling out your name

Broken by our dreams, exhausted and torn

On that day when the typhoon of anger was born

I should have just held you, but I put out the light

Left us both wandering in the dead of the night

Even the fragments of kindness I had left

I threw them in the sea, of all mercy bereft

An irritated ocean, swallowing the day

I let the best of me just drift away

I should have just held you, held you in my arms

Kept you safe and warm, away from all the harms

But now the silence is the only thing I hear

And regret is the ghost that is always near

I should have just held you... my dear

Nothing but regret

Watching the candle burn out
