Echoes of the Lonely Heart 1
Sad Ballad
Lyrics
Description
The clock ticks loud across this empty room, Your jacket on the chair, untouched, assumed,
Coffee cools where warmth used to reside, Shadows settle in the corners where I hide.
I hear sighs, trapped beneath the floorboards, Whisper thin regrets that don't make noise.
Fingers trace a name on foggy glass, Staring out, watching us both pass.
And all I hold are fragments in the dark, A fractured map without the spark.
Your silence stretches, wide and stark, Leaving me adrift, alone—no mark.
The record's thin, but songs have lost their tune, The faded light can't chase away the gloom.
I speak your name into a vacant stream, Echoes answer back, but never me.
Rooms remember laughter cold as stone, Walls where thin where love had grown.
I gather dust and memories with trembling hands, Try to understand what never stands.
And all I hold are fragments in the dark, A fractured map without the spark.
Your silence stretches, wide and stark, Leaving me adrift, alone—no mark.
Midnight scrawls in corners of my mind, Ink of what we were now hard to find.
The page is torn, but still I read, Searching for the words I need.
And all I hold are fragments in the dark, A fractured map without the spark.
Your silence stretches, wide and stark, Leaving me adrift, alone—no mark.
The jagged still sets, untouched, resigned, While I trace the shape you left behind.
While I trace the shape you left behind.
