Painful

[Verse 1] Raindrops fall, blurring city lights, Memories flood, cold as the night. Echoes of laughter, now silent cries, Your absence a shadow, my heart's disguise. [Verse 2] Pages of photos, edges worn, Smiles captured, now feel forlorn. Every corner whispers your name, In this void, I'm tethered to pain. [Chorus] Here in the quiet, where sorrow sleeps, I wade through dreams that grief keeps. Holding onto ghosts in the dark, Trying to mend a shattered heart. [Bridge] Echoes of what could've been, Haunt me like a recurring sin. But in my tears, I find a trace, Of strength to someday leave this place. [Verse 3] With each slow breath, I try to rise, Beneath the stormy, mourning skies. Yet, in the ache, there lies a spark, A faint guide through the stark. [Outro] So here's to the lost, and what remains, To finding peace, through the strains. In the heart's quiet lament, I seek a new beginning, not the end. [Verse 4] In silent rooms where shadows play, Your laughter’s echo seems to stay. A haunting melody, softly spun, In twilight spaces, we are one. [Verse 5] Candles flicker in the gentle breeze, Each flame a memory, each whisper teases. Lost in thought, the night expands, I reach for you with empty hands. [Chorus] Here in the quiet, where sorrow sleeps, I wade through dreams that grief keeps. Holding onto ghosts in the dark, Trying to mend a shattered heart. [Bridge] The past, a mirror cracked and clear, Reflects the cost of love so dear. In its shards, I see my face, Scarred by time, yet full of grace. [Verse 6] Morning breaks, with hues of gold, Still, without you, the world feels cold. Yet, with each dawn, I learn to breathe, Finding the courage to believe. [Outro] Here's to the lost, and what remains, To finding peace, through the strains. In heart’s quiet lament, I seek a beginning, not the end.
