Who We Used to Be

[Verse] Backroads and memories call, in whispers soft and sweet Autumn leaves and old tire swings, where our hearts used to meet I still hear your laughter, dancing through the trees But now it's just an echo, of who we used to be [Verse 2] We carved our names in oak bark, like a promise set in stone Now that tree stands silent, where the love we once had grown I light a candle at sunset, beneath a sky so wide Knowing Jesus has your hand now, guiding you beside [Chorus] Never thought I'd face this world, without you by my side A thousand dreams we painted, now like stars have died I'll hold our moments close, like a precious memory Though you're gone forever, in my heart, you'll always be [Verse 3] The old church bell still rings, but it no longer calls you in Sunday mornings feel empty, as they always have been Your voice in every hymn, now just a melody Left behind with the heartache, of who we used to be [Bridge] So I'll walk this road alone, but I'll carry you with me In every laugh we shared, every kiss beneath the trees Though I can't hear your voice now, I feel your presence near Guided by the love we had, the memories so dear [Chorus] Never thought I'd face this world, without you by my side A thousand dreams we painted, now like stars have died I'll hold our moments close, like a precious memory Though you're gone forever, in my heart, you'll always be
