Switch the genders. True story. One of my biggest regrets.

He wasn’t the most handsome; he never needed to be
His smile was a quiet light only I could see
His voice, soft and low, was my favorite sound
Yet I traded them for whispers that never stuck around
He hid behind his scars, never loving his face
Infinite beauty inside; he let out just a trace
I wasn’t the best but he thought I was everything
Now without my king, I’m left with nothing

I shouldn’t have
No, I shouldn’t have!
Now I’m haunted by what I can’t have back
I watched the days dissolve in the haze
Every memory, a sharpened blade
Everything I let slip away
Keeps screaming in the silence
A heart I broke is spinning out of control
The one that once made me whole
I regret every choice as I
Keep screaming in the silence

Now he’s not the same, I see him from afar
He’s lost his flame, he’s lost his star
He gave me his heart and I let it go dark
I turned my back as he fell apart
He’s lost his smile and I’ve lost mine too
Chasing after something exciting and new
Now all I see is who he used to be
But my heart won't let me scream

I shouldn’t have
No, I shouldn’t have!
Now I’m haunted by what I can’t have back
I watched the days dissolve in the haze
Every memory, a sharpened blade
Everything I let slip away
Keeps screaming in the silence
A heart I broke is spinning out of control
The one that once made me whole
I regret every choice as I
Keep screaming in the silence

I was running from the past, but I’m done
It's simply impossible to outrun
All that’s left is the fragment of a life
Cut it down like my words were a knife

I shouldn’t have
No, I shouldn’t have!
Now I’m haunted by what I can’t have back
I watched the days dissolve in the haze
Every memory, a sharpened blade
Everything I let slip away
Keeps screaming in the silence
A heart I broke is spinning out of control
The one that once made me whole
I regret every choice as I
Keep screaming in the silence
