Lyrics
Verse 1
She laughed in the half-light
Ran her fingers down my sleeve
Two words, I swallowed tight
Not brave enough to believe
Chasing chances, lost in limbo
Tangled truths we never said
Friends with him, but inside I know
It’s her living in my head
One choice, passed over (it stings)
One moment, could have changed everything
My voice—silent, slipping through
Only you
Chorus
Better broken than never living
Should’ve shattered what we had
Better ended with a fight or falling out, than what comes after
Better wrong than years replaying
Every could have, every maybe
I’d trade the guilt for pain, I’d trade the ache for her name
Post-Chorus
Wish I’d told you
Wish I’d held you
Wish I’d told you
Before the night closed
Verse 2
He called me, voice shaking
Three a.m., lost inside the line
Couldn’t breathe for the heartbreak
Said the street took what was mine
His love, my secret, our undone time
Man, we used to laugh till the sunrise
Now I scroll our photos
Counting might have beens
Left with questions, more than memories
Used to dream, but now I never sleep
All the moments drowning slow
All the words I didn’t show
Chorus
Better broken than never living
Should’ve shattered what we had
Better ended with a fight or falling out, than what comes after
Better wrong than years replaying
Every could have, every maybe
I’d trade regret for pain, I’d trade the ache for her name
Post-Chorus
Wish I’d told you
Wish I’d held you
Wish I’d told you
Now I’m left wishing
Bridge
Could’ve risked it all, could’ve lost a friend
Better to bleed than to break and bend
Kept my silence, heavy as a stone
Better to be hated, than to be alone
Chorus
Better broken than never living
Should’ve shattered what we had
Better ended with a fight or falling out, than what comes after
Better wrong than years replaying
Every could have, every maybe
I’d trade the guilt for pain, I’d trade the ache for her name
Post-Chorus
Wish I’d told you
Wish I’d held you
Wish I’d told you
Before goodbye, before goodbye
