Song 90: Why Couldn't I Keep You?

**Verse 1** 
Late at night, I find myself lost, 
In a world of memories, counting the cost, 
We built it up, but then it slipped away, 
Wondering how we ended up this way. 

**Pre-Chorus** 
I trace the outlines of the moments we had, 
A beautiful love, now it feels so sad, 
Was it in the silence, or the words left unsaid? 
I’m haunted by questions, spinning in my head. 

**Chorus** 
Oh, why couldn't I keep you? Why did we fall apart? 
Was it fate that led us, or a broken heart? 
Searching for answers in the tears that I cry, 
Living with the echoes of goodbye. 

**Verse 2** 
I remember the laughter, the way that you smiled, 
The dreams we painted, so vivid, so wild, 
But life has a way of testing our strength, 
I wonder how we lost our way and went to such lengths. 

**Pre-Chorus** 
Did I let you down in the moments we shared? 
Were the highs worth the lows, or was I just scared? 
In every “I love you,” was there something I missed? 
Now I’m stuck in the shadows of everything that exists. 

**Chorus** 
Oh, why couldn't I keep you? Why did we fall apart? 
Was it fate that led us, or a broken heart? 
Searching for answers in the tears that I cry, 
Living with the echoes of goodbye. 

**Bridge** 
Maybe time will heal, maybe I’ll find peace, 
But for now, I’m fighting to release, 
This weight on my chest, the dreams that remain, 
I wonder why love sometimes brings only pain. 

**Chorus** 
Oh, why couldn't I keep you? Why did we fall apart? 
Was it fate that led us, or a broken heart? 
Searching for answers in the tears that I cry, 
Living with the echoes of goodbye. 

**Outro** 
So I’ll keep on dreaming, hoping to see, 
A glimpse of the love that’s still haunting me, 
With every dawn, I’ll try to be brave, 
But I wonder why I couldn’t keep you, my heart still craves.
