Guilty Conscience

Guilty conscience, swore you'd change, but look at what you've done

Left them standing in the wreckage like the damage was for fun

Thought you'd find redemption in the silence that you grew

But all you found was regret, and now regret sees through you

I just wanted to be better, to make the wrong things right

But now the pain I handed out keeps waking me at night

If I could turn the clocks back, untangle every lie

But here I am, realizing another piece of me dies

Empty conscience made them cry, made them feel so small

And now you're drowning in the guilt of it all

You hope they never leave, but the truth's becoming clear

You're the villain in their story, carved from all their tears

I know you want their hatred, maybe that's what you deserve

But you keep clinging to the past, like a ghost you can't preserve

Nothing from nothing, just broken hearts and shattered dreams

And the memories that echo while you drown in your own screams

Wish they'd yell, scream, curse my name

Let the anger out in flames

Maybe then the quiet wouldn't feel like chains

I'm just a ghost in their history, a shadow of regret

And every day without them is a moment I forget

Wanted to be the hero, fix the damage left behind

But here I stand in darkness with a heart that's undefined

If they could see the remorse bleeding heavy in my eyes

Maybe they'd understand that guilt never really dies

Empty conscience made them cry, made them feel so small

And now you're drowning in the guilt of it all

You hope they never leave, but the truth's becoming clear

You're the villain in their story, carved from all their tears

I know you want their hatred, maybe that's what you deserve

But you keep clinging to the past, like a ghost you can't preserve

Nothing from nothing, just broken hearts and shattered dreams

And the memories that echo while you drown in your own screams

Wish they'd find the strength to stay, fix the pieces left in me

But I'm stuck here with the ghost of what will never be

Trapped in a cycle where my heart's the prisoner

Holding on to hope in a war I'll never win

You made your bed, now lying in it

You're losing what was dear

Begging for their anger, cause the silence is your fear

Trying to rewrite history, but the damage already done

They're walking toward tomorrow, and you're stuck beneath the sun

Guilty conscience made them cry, made them feel so small

And now you're drowning in the guilt of it all

You hope they never leave, but the truth's becoming clear

You're the villain in their story, the reason for the tears

Here I stand in the ruins of everything I destroyed

Wishing for their fury while I sit here paranoid

They'll heal, they'll rise, they'll set themselves free

But the only one still hurting is the broken part of me
