No regrets

[Intro – gentle piano arpeggio, soft string hum] Streetlights bleed into the rain Your ghost lingers in the frame [Verse 1 – tender, nostalgic] I still keep the ticket stub from that old movie show The one where we laughed till our sides hurt and the lights turned low You left your hoodie hanging on my bedroom door I haven’t touched it since you walked out, haven’t had the core [Pre-Chorus – yearning, quiet tension] I replay the words we never got to say Wondering if I could’ve turned the tide that day But the clock keeps ticking, the world keeps turning on I’m learning to carry the weight where I belong [Chorus 1 – bittersweet, accepting] No regrets, no tears left to cry Every broken piece was worth the time we tried We burned bright like a fire that couldn’t last I’ll hold the warmth in my chest, let the past be past [Verse 2 – reflective, soft] I passed the café where we’d sit and watch the world go by The barista asked where you were, I just smiled and lied I found your old mix tape in the back of my car The songs still sound like summer, like we were still stars [Pre-Chorus 2 – soft, resigned] I don’t blame you for the roads we had to take We were just two kids who didn’t know how to stay But the memories glow like embers in the dark I’m learning to let them light me up, not leave a mark [Chorus 2 – warm, grateful] No regrets, no words left to mend Every scar’s a story of how we tried to bend We danced fast like a song that couldn’t end I’ll keep the rhythm in my soul, let the silence mend [Bridge – vulnerable, raw] I used to lie awake and wonder what went wrong Now I know we just needed to find where we belonged You taught me how to love, how to feel alive That’s a gift I’ll carry with me, till the day I die [Final Chorus – hopeful, uplifting] No regrets, no chains left to break Every moment’s a lesson that my heart can take We flew high like birds who had to find their way I’ll keep the sky in my eyes, let the light lead the way [Outro – fading piano, soft string fade] Streetlights fade into the dawn Your ghost fades, but the love lives on
