Lyrics

[Verse]
Met Olivia on a cold autumn night,
Her eyes were the stars, her smile the light.
But sometimes the timing's just never quite right,
And love, it can burn, but slip out of sight.

[Verse 2]
She needed someone who was steady and strong,
But my restless heart wrote all the wrong songs.
I gave her my words, but they felt out of tune,
And I hurt her by leaving too soon.

[Chorus]
Olivia, I'm sorry, it cuts like a knife,
We met in the wrong chapter of life.
I loved you with all I knew how to begin,
But time wasn't kind, and I broke us again.

[Verse 3]
Her laughter still haunts me, the way that it shined,
It echoes through corners of my wandering mind.
I pray she's found peace in some sweet, quiet place,
While I bear the guilt I can't seem to erase.

[Bridge]
I never meant harm, I swear it was true,
Every "I love you" I whispered to you.
But love unprepared is a love that can choke,
And I left her heart shattered like old weathered oak.

[Chorus]
Olivia, I'm sorry, it cuts like a knife,
We met in the wrong chapter of life.
I loved you with all I knew how to begin,
But time wasn't kind, and I broke us again.
