I recall the days we let slip by
Lost in the questions of how and why
Regret grips tight, won’t let me breathe
A heart of boiling blood left to seethe
Each memory drags me deeper down
I stand still while time marches on
The past hugs tight, won’t let me be
Eternally imprisoning me

The past holds on to my misery
The future pulls me towards anxiety
Why you left remains a mystery
Oh, it’s a mystery
My heart still aches, though it never broke
I miss you but I’ll never let it show
Why you left, I will never know
Oh, I will never know

The future looms, a heavy cloud
Every thought feels sharp and loud
I try to sleep, but stress betrays
Tomorrow waits just to drift away
The fear creeps in, it’s hard to fight
What if nothing turns out right?
Each step ahead feels far too steep
And hope hides in the dreams I keep

The past holds on to my misery
The future pulls me towards anxiety
Why you left remains a mystery
Oh, it’s a mystery
My heart still aches, though it never broke
I miss you but I’ll never let it show
Why you left, I will never know
Oh, I will never know

I reach for the present, but it slips through
The weight of what’s gone clouds every view
If I could find peace just for today
Would tomorrow's fear finally drift away?

The past holds on to my misery
The future pulls me towards anxiety
Why you left remains a mystery
Oh, it’s a mystery
My heart still aches, though it never broke
I miss you but I’ll never let it show
Why you left, I will never know
Oh, I will never know
