[Intro]
in the Echo of Regret
In the quiet chamber where memories linger,
I trace the outline of your laughter,
A melody that now spirals into shadows,
Dancing with ghosts of us in each trembling breath.
[Verse]
Remember those nights beneath the silver sky?
Our dreams woven into constellations,
But time, that relentless thief,
Stole moments like a thief in the dusk, unseen.
[Verse]
I’m sorry, forgive the fracture
Between what was promised and what unraveled,
Our love, a fragile tapestry,
Unweaving threads with every sharp word.
[Pre-Chorus]
Did I feel your heart shatter like glass,
The sound echoing through silence,
Each shard a reminder of your absence,
Piercing deep into the fabric of my solitude?
[Verse]
I sit in the place where laughter reigned,
Now a mausoleum of unspoken sorrows,
Your essence, like perfume long faded,
Still haunts the corners of memory's room.
[Chorus]
I see you in the autumn leaves,
Falling with grace, surrendering to decay,
Nature knows how to let go,
But here I am, clinging to the past’s relentless grip.
[Chorus]
Do you remember the storms we weathered,
The nights we faced the world hand in hand?
Now I stand alone, a mariner lost at sea,
Waves crashing against a heart unanchored.
[Chorus]
Regret, like a fog, wraps around my soul,
Each moment replaying in the theater of thought,
I reach out to the silhouette of your smile,
But grasp only the emptiness left in your wake.
[Break]
What was love but a b*****g candle,
Flickering fiercely before succumbing to darkness?
I should've cherished the glow,
Rather than let the shadows creep in unnoticed.
[Verse]
Now whispers of “I’m sorry” h**g in the air,
As heavy as the weight of unshed tears,
Yet in the depth of this tragic refrain,
I find solace in the truth we once shared.
[Verse]
You deserved more than I could offer,
A love unbound, wild and free,
But alas, my heart was a cage,
And you, reaching for the sky, found the key.
[Bridge]
And so, I write this elegy to the ashes,
Of what we were and the hope I let slip,
In the pages of time, I inscribe your name,
A bittersweet reminder,
[Outro]
