[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]
