Lyrics
[Melancholic Verse 1]
Shadows grow long, the day bleeds out
An empty home, once filled with shouts
Of laughter, love, and life well-spent
Now echoes with the silences I can't prevent
[Wistful Verse 2]
I walk these halls, trace fingers on the walls
Each scuff and chip, holds memories that call
Back to a time, when we were whole
Unbroken by the cruelty life can dole
[Emotional Pre-Chorus]
If I could bargain, with the hands of fate
Return you to me, undo the hand I'm dealt
I'd give it all, to see your face once more
To hold you close, like once before
[Powerful Chorus]
But I am just one man, against the tide
I can rage and fight, but I cannot hide
From the painful truth, that I'm alone
You're gone forever, my heart's now stone
[Fingerstyle Guitar Solo]
[Introspective Verse 3]
In darkest nights, when sleep won't come
I lie awake, and try to summon
Memories of you, to fill my mind
But time erodes, the edges I can't find
[Storytelling Verse 4]
We built a life, saw dreams take flight
Made plans and promises, to last all night
But life, it seems, had other plans
Ripped you away, left me empty-handed
[Resonant Bridge]
How do I move on, from here alone?
When every breath feels, like broken bones
The road ahead stretches, long and
But life, it seems, had other plans
Ripped you away, left me empty-handed
[Resonant Bridge]
How do I move on, from here alone?
When every breath feels, like broken bones
The road ahead stretches, long and bleak
No light or laughter, just tears that streak
[Determined Verse 5]
But in the depths, I hear your voice
Urging me onward, to make the choice
To live for us both, to tell our tale
So sacrifice and love, will always prevail
[Building Pre-Chorus]
I'll gather up, these shards of me
Piece by piece, with memories
Rebuild a life, that honors yours
And choose to live, forevermore
[Triumphant Chorus]
I'll stand back up, though I am scarred
To face this world, my grief unmarred
I'll carry on, with head held high
Your love, my strength, until I die
[Final Verse]
So rest now love, don't watch for me
I'll live enough, for you and me
Until once again, I see your face
And hold you close, in love's embrace
[END]
To face this world, my grief unmarred
I'll carry on, with head held high
Your love, my strength, until I die
[Final Verse]
So rest now love, don't watch for me
I'll live enough, for you and me
Until once again, I see your face
And hold you close, in love's embrace
[END]
