Looking back, it’s crystal clear—\nLetting go of what was never real.\nI’m sorry I let you down—\nI was blinded, lost in the crowd.\nThere are many faces, yet only a few remain.\nIt took a while to realize the ones I held close\nWere the ones who hurt me the most.\nI searched for love in shadows and disguise,\nHeld onto dreams wrapped in lullabies.\nI’m sorry I let you down—\nBlind to the truth, lost in the haze.\nNow I know, now I see—\nOnly the real ones stay through the darkest days.\nI gave too much to those who strayed,\nLost myself in the words they’d say.\nBut every fall led me to this—\nA love that’s real, no counterfeit bliss.\nI searched for love in shadows and disguise,\nHeld onto dreams wrapped in lullabies.\nI’m sorry I let you down—\nBlind to the truth, lost in the haze.\nNow I know, now I see—\nOnly the real ones stay through the darkest days.\nWhen the tides rise and the night is long,\nThe false ones vanish, like flowers at dawn.\nYet in the wreckage, I finally see,\nA handful stand strong, surrounding me.\nI’m sorry I let you down—\nBlind to the truth, lost in the haze.\nNow I know, now I see—\nOnly the real ones stay through the darkest days.\nNow I cherish the ones who stood with me.
