Lyrics
Verse 1)
Sittin' on this old front porch,
Breeze whispers through the pines,
Where we danced 'neath neon lights,
And I thought you’d always be mine.
I remember summer nights,
The taste of wildberry wine,
You laughed and stole my heart,
But now I’m just killin’ time.
(Chorus)
I give up, I let you go,
But it hurts too much to know,
Each memory’s a thorn in my heart,
Like a song that won’t depart.
I give up, but I still see,
The ghost of you standing next to me,
In every shadow, every tear,
I give up, but I still feel you here.
(Verse 2)
You left your jacket in the rain,
That soft scent still lingers near,
I wear it like a shroud tonight,
Wrapped in echoes of our years.
We fought like wildfire,
But we loved like the sun,
Now I’m just a flickering flame,
A heart that’s come undone.
(Chorus)
I give up, I let you go,
But it hurts too much to know,
Each memory’s a thorn in my heart,
Like a song that won’t depart.
I give up, but I still see,
The ghost of you standing next to me,
In every shadow, every tear,
I give up, but I still feel you here.
(Bridge)
I drive down that old dirt road,
Where we carved our names in oak,
I can almost hear your laughter,
In the whispers of the smoke.
How did we let it slip away?
Like sand through our hands,
Now I’m just a story fading,
In this lonely land.
(Chorus)
I give up, I let you go,
But it hurts too much to know,
Each memory’s a thorn in my heart,
Like a song that won’t depart.
I give up, but I still see,
The ghost of you standing next to me,
In every shadow, every tear,
I give up, but I still feel you here.
(Outro)
So here I sit with dreams turned dust,
Underneath this fading light,
I give up on the fight,
But I won’t forget those nights.
I give up, I let you go,
But deep down, I know...
You’re forever a part of me,
In memories that won’t let me be.
