In the dead of night when silence screams the loudest,

I replay every moment where I chose wrong over right.

The love I let slip, the dreams I left behind,

No magic cure exists for this ache I can't define.

Shoulda held on tighter, woulda fought the fear inside,

Coulda been the hero in our story, but I lied.

Here I stand, poisoned by the what-ifs I can't hide,

No regret pill to swallow, just the pain that won't subside.

Shoulda… woulda… coulda…

Echoes in my mind…

I saw the warning signs, your eyes were fading out

I brushed it off like rain, too scared to scream or shout

That last goodbye I whispered, turned my back and walked away

Now every empty morning screams the price I have to pay

What if I’d stayed one second longer, held your hand through the storm

If only I’d been stronger, instead of letting go so warm

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, there’s no pill to kill this pain

No way to rewrite the chapters where I threw it all away

Shoulda said “forever,” woulda chased you through the rain

Coulda built our castle, now it’s ashes in the flame

And I’m drowning in the silence of the choices I can’t change

Shoulda, woulda, coulda…

You stood there in the doorway, heart exposed and breaking slow

I chose my pride over us, watched our future turn to snow

The calls I never answered, the promises I broke in two

Now I’m haunted by your shadow in everything I do

If only time could bend and let me fix the mess I made

The regrets are piling higher like a debt that won’t be paid

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, but the moment’s gone for good

No pill for all the nights I wish I understood

Shoulda loved you deeper, woulda done the things I should

Coulda been your shelter, now I’m lost within the wood

No turning back the pages of the story where I stood

Shoulda, woulda, coulda…

Tell me, is there mercy for a soul that’s lost its way?

These ghosts keep pulling me under, night after night and day

I scream into the void but only echoes reply

Years have carved their lines upon this face I barely know

Your laugh still lingers softly in the places we used to go

The life I built without you is a hollow, empty shell

And deep within my chest I feel the toll of every farewell

SHOULDA! WOULDA! COULDA! The words explode inside my veins

No pill, no cure, no saving grace to wash away the stains

Shoulda fought for us forever, woulda broken every chain

Coulda made you mine again, but I caused the pouring rain

I scream it to the heavens now — too late, too late, too late!

Shoulda, woulda, coulda… God, the pain won’t dissipate!

But maybe there’s no pill because the lesson’s in the scar

The strength we gain from falling teaches who we really are

I carry you inside me now, a fire that won’t go dark

The past is poison, yet it lights the way into the spark

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah I wear it like a crown

No pill but I’m still breathing, won’t let it drag me down

Shoulda said I need you, woulda turned my life around

Coulda been the ending where our love was never drowned

Now I’m walking forward with the echoes all around

Shoulda, woulda, coulda… but I’m still here, still proud

Shoulda… woulda… coulda…

No regret pill… but I’ll survive…

Echoes fade into the night…

(whisper) Shoulda…
