Verse 1 I stood beside your quiet bed, The room still warm with what you were. And all the years I meant to try Came rushing in like ghosts that stirred. I kept my dreams in folded drawers, Too scared to fail, too scared to start. Now time has closed its open doors, And left me with this aching heart. Pre Chorus I thought I had forever, But forever never comes. And every chance I didn’t take Now beats inside my lungs. Chorus When sorrows come, they never come as single spies — They march like battalions through a life I never tried. I wasted all my courage on the fear of being wrong, And now the road is shorter than the years I waited on. When sorrows come… they come in battalions. Verse 2 There was a girl who loved me once, I let her go without a fight. A job I swore I’d chase someday, But “someday” never felt quite right. I told myself I wasn’t ready, I told myself I needed time. But time kept moving steady, And left me standing far behind. Pre Chorus I thought I had tomorrow, But tomorrow turned to dust. And every door I never touched Has started turning rust. Chorus When sorrows come, they never come as single spies — They march like battalions through a life I never tried. I wasted all my courage on the fear of being wrong, And now the road is shorter than the years I waited on. When sorrows come… they come in battalions. Bridge If I could speak to who I was, I’d tell him risk is not a crime. That broken bones can heal again, But wasted years are harder to rewind. I’d tell him love is worth the fall, And dreams don’t bloom in sheltered hands. But all that’s left is telling you — I hope you knew I tried to be a man. Final Chorus When sorrows come, they never come as single spies — They rise like storm clouds in the corners of your life. I spent my youth in hiding, afraid of being seen, And now I’m left with echoes of the man I might have been. When sorrows come… they come in battalions.
