You left your keys on the windowsill
Like you knew you wouldn't come back
And I sat still, trying to feel
Something more than the cracks
I said the right words far too late
And the wrong ones far too loud
Now I trace your shadow on the wall
Where your laughter used to sound

If silence is an answer
Then I know what you meant

It's my fault, my mistake
I built the bridge just to watch it break
Held your heart like it could wait
But love don't linger at the gate
I told myself you'd understand
But never reached to hold your hand
It's my fault, my mistake
I learned too late what I couldn't fake

The coffee cup you always used
Still sleeps in the second drawer
Funny how the smallest things
Are what I miss the most
I replay moments like old films
But I skip the parts I can't defend
You needed me to fight for you
And I just watched it end

I called it timing, I called it fate
But maybe I was just afraid

It's my fault, my mistake
I built the bridge just to watch it break
Held your heart like it could wait
But love don't linger at the gate
I told myself you'd understand
But never reached to hold your hand
It's my fault, my mistake
I learned too late what I couldn't fake

There's no one else to blame tonight
I see it clearer in this quiet light
You gave me more than I could hold
And I let go

It's my fault, my mistake
Not something I can now remake
If I could turn the hands of time
I'd choose your heart instead of mine
But I stood still, and let you fade
In all the ways I should have stayed
It's my fault, my mistake
And that's the truth I wake up to each day
