(Verse 1)
Now, the silence screams where your laughter used to bloom,
Alone in this hollowed space, a tomb within a room.
Wondering about the sharp edges of the words you threw,
I know this stubborn love still aches, a constant, bruised Hue.
But the warmth has fled, a ghost where a fire used to be,
You seem to build these walls so high, deliberately away from me.
Each offered hand, each whispered plea, twists into a bitter game,
Everything I do, it seems, ignites this unfamiliar flame.
(Chorus)
And now you're a fading echo, slipping through my weary hold,
Slipping away like sand through fingers, a story left untold.
Away from the haven we once knew, adrift on a troubled sea,
I'm caught between a desperate grasp and the wisdom to just set you free.
And now you're a ghost in the daylight, slipping, fading from my sight,
Slipping away, dissolving in the lonely, endless night.
(Verse 2)
It's early in the morning, the clock a relentless, ticking dread,
I trace the phantom of your form upon the empty bed.
Wondering what storms are brewing in the landscape of your head,
Each fragile bridge I try to build lies shattered, cold, and dead.
Every time I reach across this chasm that grows wide,
It seems the pieces of your heart further fragment and divide.
And I become a shadow of the self I used to be,
Lost in this labyrinth of sorrow, desperately trying to break free.
Each sunrise brings a heavier weight, a sharper, piercing pain,
I can only stand on distant shores and watch you sail away in the rain.
(Bridge)
Is there a flicker left, a spark beneath the frost?
Or am I clinging to a memory, a battle already lost?
This aching in my chest, it claws with a desperate need,
But maybe love shouldn't be a wound that constantly bleeds.
Perhaps this letting go, though terrifying and stark,
Is the only way for either of us to find light in the dark.
(Chorus - Intensified)
And now you're a fading echo, slipping through my weary hold,
Slipping away like sand through fingers, a story left untold.
Away from the haven we once knew, adrift on a troubled sea,
I'm caught between a desperate grasp and the wisdom to just set you free.
And now you're a ghost in the daylight, slipping, fading from my sight,
Slipping away, dissolving in the lonely, endless night.
(Outro)
Maybe someday the silence won't feel so deafening and vast,
Maybe someday the memories won't cut quite so fast.
Or maybe I'll forever hear your whisper on the breeze,
A constant reminder of the love that slipped away with such unease.
Slipping away...
Away from me...
