I wish I knew then what I know now...

Lyrics

Shadows of Doubt
Copyright 2025 Diana Rasmussen

**Verse 1**
Oh, if I could turn back time and see what's clear today,
The weight of my regrets, they haunt me in every way.
If only I had trusted the whispers of my heart,
Instead of drowning in the noise that tore us apart.
I should have stood beside you when you needed me near,
But I let you fight alone, lost in my own fear.
Forgive me for the shadows that crept in uninvited,
God, grant me the grace to heal this soul that's so divided.
**Chorus**
When you found your light in sobriety's embrace,
You opened up my eyes to every hidden trace.
How could I be blind? Why didn't I reach out?
Now I'm left with burdens wrapped in shadows of doubt.
**Verse 2**
I wish I had the courage to face the truth back then,
To see the silent battles and the struggles deep within.
Regrets like heavy chains weigh down this weary heart,
And guilt's an unwelcome guest that tears my world apart.
But now I seek redemption in this journey to forgive,
To find a path to peace and learn how to truly live.
**Chorus**
When you found your light in sobriety's embrace,
You opened up my eyes to every hidden trace.
How could I be blind? Why didn't I reach out?
Now I'm left with burdens wrapped in shadows of doubt.
**Bridge**
So here I stand before you, with a heart that aches for grace,
Learning to forgive myself in this sacred space.
With every tear that falls, I'm shedding all my shame,
In the hope that one day soon, I'll rise above the blame.
**Outro**
God, give me the strength to mend what's been undone,
To embrace the lessons learned and let love be my sun.
In the tapestry of life, may forgiveness weave its thread,
As I learn to love myself and honor those who've led.
