The Right Wrong

In the dead of night, I'm held in a gaze My heart has a habit of shedding light on my numerous mistakes And they wear me down Aligned with the ghosts of pain that keep me awake Oh, the past can paralyze if you ponder the paths you didn't take With the chance to go back and amend every grievance How could I resist preventing my demons From ever existing and making a mess Of the life that I could have had? Would I return to you To the love I knew? Or would I have undone All the good that gives misery meaning? And where could you have gone? The only right I had wronged Lost in the chapters we changed Oh, despite all my skeletons, I see All is as all should be Still, it's hard not to imagine How different our lives would be if given the chance To fix every failure, to rewrite the canon What character would I be if my conscience was clean? What would become of me? Would I return to you To the love I knew? Or would I have undone All the good that gives misery meaning? And where could you have gone? The only right I had wronged Lost in the chapters we changed Oh, despite all my skeletons, you see me With the chance to go back and amend every grievance How could I resist preventing my demons From ever existing and making a mess Of the life that I could have had? Would I return to you To the love I knew? Or would I have undone All the good that gives misery meaning? And where could you have gone? The only right I had wronged Lost in the chapters we changed Oh, despite all my skeletons, I see All is as all should be
