Sad Song

(Verse 1) Dim the lights, drown out the sounds The memories whisper, playing rounds Of laughter lost and promises unkept Your touch a phantom, an echo, a ghost (Chorus) Everywhere I look, your smile remains A cruel reminder of love's cruel strains I search the corners for your embrace But you're lost in the city's hurried pace (Verse 2) Bitter coffee soothes the empty pain But my tears stain the crisp white linen I crave the warmth of your embrace But you're a fleeting dream, a bittersweet face (Chorus) Everywhere I look, your smile remains A cruel reminder of love's cruel strains I search the corners for your embrace But you're lost in the city's hurried pace (Bridge) Maybe someday I'll find a way To escape the pain, to finally say I'll find a way to forgive, to forget And walk away, leaving behind your regret (Chorus) But everywhere I look, your smile remains A cruel reminder of love's cruel strains I search the corners for your embrace But you're lost in the city's hurried pace (Outro) In the darkest hour, your scent lingers near A constant reminder of how my world has yearned For your embrace, your touch, your fire But I'll find a way, I'll find my way
