Fading Echoes

[Intro] [Verse 1] In a box of dust beneath the bed, A faded photo whispers what we said. Your laugh once danced like summer rain, Now it’s just a ghost on a windowpane. [Chorus] Oh, time’s a thief in quiet disguise, Stealing moments right before our eyes. But I hold the melody you used to hum, A lullaby for where you’ve become. [Verse 2] The old guitar still leans by the door, Strings rusted tight like the day you tore. A single note hangs in the air, A broken chord I couldn’t repair. [Chorus] Oh, time’s a thief in quiet disguise, Stealing moments right before our eyes. But I keep the rhythm in my veins, A heartbeat chant that still bears your name. [Bridge] The porch light flickers, half a moon away, I trace the cracks where your smile would stay. A coffee stain on your favorite page, Scribbled words that outlive the age. [Outro]
