Verse 1:
I had a girl, a light so bright,
But shadows whispered, filled me with fright.
I let her go, thought it was right,
But now I’m lost in the lonely night.
Chorus:
Oh, what a foolish thing to do,
To let go of the one who believed in you.
Regret's a chain, heavy and tight,
Wishing I could hold her once more tonight.
Verse 2:
Memories dance like flickering flames,
In my heart, I still call her name.
The warmth of her smile, the love in her eyes,
Now just echoes of sweet goodbye sighs.
Chorus:
Oh, what a foolish thing to do,
To let go of the one who believed in you.
Regret's a chain, heavy and tight,
Wishing I could hold her once more tonight.
Bridge:
Time moves forward, but I stand still,
Caught in the fear that I let kill.
The best I had, slipped through my hands,
Now all I have are empty plans.
Chorus:
Oh, what a foolish thing to do,
To let go of the one who believed in you.
Regret's a chain, heavy and tight,
Wishing I could hold her once more tonight.
Outro:
I had a girl, and she was the best,
Now I’m haunted by my heart’s unrest.
If only I could turn back time,
I’d keep her close, and she’d still be mine.
