Can't erase the scars

[Guitar and drum intro] [Verse 1] Eighteen summers, hearts naive and bold We swore forever, a story yet untold But forever vanished, like a teardrop in the sun You ripped the pages, our chapter left undone [Short guitar solo] [Chorus] Haunted by a ghost, a girl I used to know Eighteen's broken promise, a seed that won't let go Mauritius dreams can't erase the scars you made This bitter lullaby, for a love that quickly frayed [Short guitar solo] [Verse 2] High school hallways, whispers filled the air "They're done," they murmured, a truth I couldn't bear You said goodbye so easily, a flick of your hand Left me with memories, grains of shifting sand [Long guitar and drum solo] [Verse 3] Years went rolling by, like seasons in their sway Heard you found an island, paradise far away Mauritius sunshine, beaches bathed in gold But behind the postcard, a story left untold [Short guitar solo] [Verse 4] Every night I close my eyes, your laughter fills the dream But the laughter turns to ice, a haunting, cruel extreme Maybe someday I'll let go, of the anger and the sting But for now, I sing this song, the memory it will bring [Short guitar solo] [Chorus] Haunted by a ghost, a girl I used to know Eighteen's broken promise, a seed that won't let go Mauritius dreams can't erase the scars you made This bitter lullaby, for a love that quickly frayed [Guitar solo] [Outro] This song's not for you, to rekindle or ignite Just a melody of heartbreak, beneath the pale moonlight One day the dreams will fade, the anger will subside But tonight, the memory lingers, with nowhere left to hide Mauritius dreams can't erase the scars you made This bitter lullaby, for a love that quickly frayed [Guitar and drum end]
