Fading Echoes

[Intro] [Verse 1] The jukebox plays a worn-out tune, Whiskey burns but can’t erase the moon, Photographs in a dusty frame, Your smile’s gone, but the ache remains. Shadows dance where we used to cling, Silence hums what I couldn’t sing. [Verse 2] Found your scarf in an old coat sleeve, Threads unravel like the dreams we’d weave. You left footprints in the autumn clay, Now the rain just washes them away. I chased the wind down a lonesome road, Regret’s the heaviest load I’ve towed. [Chorus] These fading echoes of your name, A ghostly waltz in a hollowed flame. The miles stretch where the stars don’t glow, I’m holdin’ on but I’m lettin’ go. [Bridge] The phone still rings in a midnight haze, I answer nothin’ but the past’s faint phrase. Words I stored in a rusted vault, Now the hinges scream with every fault. [Verse 3] You’re a melody without a song, A right turn feelin’ twice as wrong. I carved our dates in the oak tree’s skin, Now the bark’s grown thick and closed them in. [Chorus] These fading echoes of your name, A ghostly waltz in a hollowed flame. The miles stretch where the stars don’t glow, I’m holdin’ on but I’m lettin’ go. [Outro]
