Lost Love

(Verse 1) Flickering neon paints the rain-soaked street Same tired diner, booth tucked in the backseat Coffee black as the ink on your worn-out sleeve You tell me 'bout the muse that finally took leave (Pre-Chorus) Another restless dreamer, another heart on fire Burning for the truth, caught in a liar's choir Strumming your six-string, words a desperate plea Is this the cost of chasing immortality? (Chorus) We built our castles out of shattered dreams Kings and queens of heartache, a cathartic scream Lost loves and faded glories, fuel for the midnight oil Bleeding onto the page, stories that never spoil (Verse 2) Remember that dive bar, chasing the rising sun? Spilled our secrets into melodies, one by one You swore you'd write a symphony, a masterpiece untold Now the melody's faded, leaving just the cold (Pre-Chorus) Another restless dreamer, another dream gone dark Searching for an answer, lost in the after-park Frayed notebooks filled with verses, none that ignite Is this the burden of a heart that burns so bright? (Chorus) We built our castles out of shattered dreams Kings and queens of heartache, a cathartic scream Lost loves and faded glories, fuel for the midnight oil Bleeding onto the page, stories that never spoil (Bridge) But maybe the beauty's not in the happy end Maybe it's the journey, the lessons that transcend The scars we wear like badges, the battles we all fight Fueling the fire that burns so fiercely in the night (Chorus) We built our castles out of shattered dreams Kings and queens of heartache, a cathartic scream Lost loves and faded glories, fuel for the midnight oil Bleeding onto the page, stories that never spoil (Outro) So let the words keep flowing, let the tears keep falling In this symphony of heartbreak, our voices keep calling We are the restless dreamers, with souls that bleed and fight Our stories will echo on, long into the night [fade out]
