Candlelight flickers on faded photographs

( Violin Intro ) Verse 1: Candlelight flickers on faded photographs Memories dance in the shadows they cast I trace your face with a trembling hand Wondering how we lost our promised land Pre-Chorus: They say time heals all wounds But the clock seems to mock my pain As I sit here in our empty room Trying to wash away your stain Chorus: And oh, how the river runs deep With tears I no longer weep I'm caught between letting go and holding on To a love that's already gone But darling, I'm learning to swim In these waters you pushed me in And though the current's strong, I'll find my way To the shore of a brighter day ( Piano Solo ) Verse 2: I see your ghost in every corner of this town In the café where we first sat down The park bench where we carved our names Now weathered by seasons and change Pre-Chorus: They say time heals all wounds But the clock seems to mock my pain As I sit here in our empty room Trying to wash away your stain Chorus: And oh, how the river runs deep With tears I no longer weep I'm caught between letting go and holding on To a love that's already gone But darling, I'm learning to swim In these waters you pushed me in And though the current's strong, I'll find my way To the shore of a brighter day Bridge: I never thought I'd be strong enough To face a world without your love But here I stand, on my own two feet My heart still beats, though incomplete And in this moment, I finally see The strength was always inside of me ( Violin Solo) Chorus: And oh, how the river runs deep With tears I no longer weep I'm caught between letting go and holding on To a love that's already gone But darling, I'm learning to swim In these waters you pushed me in And though the current's strong, I'll find my way To the shore of a brighter day Outro: So I'll wade through this river of sorrow Towards the promise of tomorrow And though your memory might linger still I'm rising up, against the current, I will Find myself again, whole and new In a life that no longer revolves around you I'm caught between letting go and holding on To a love that's already gone But darling, I'm learning to swim In these waters you pushed me in And though the current's strong, I'll find my way To the shore of a brighter day Outro: So I'll wade through this river of sorrow Towards the promise of tomorrow And though your memory might linger still I'm rising up, against the current, I will Find myself again, whole and new In a life that no longer revolves around you
