Verse 1:
The scent of roses in the air,
Reminds me of a time, we used to share,
A gentle breeze, your whispered plea,
Now you're just a ghost in my memory.
Pre-Chorus:
I'm trying to breathe, through the pain,
But every place just calls your name,
Shadows of you, linger near,
Every step I take is wrapped in fear.
Chorus:
Lingering shadows, haunting my dreams,
Echoes of laughter, tearing at the seams,
Everywhere I go, you're still there,
The scent of roses, hanging in the air.
Verse 2:
Pictures fade but the heart remains,
Holding on to love in vain,
Your touch has gone, yet feels so near,
In every silence, I hear you clear.
Pre-Chorus:
I'm drowning deep, in this ocean wide,
Searching for the shore, where you reside,
Hollow inside, can't seem to find,
A way to leave these ghosts behind.
Chorus:
Lingering shadows, haunting my dreams,
Echoes of laughter, tearing at the seams,
Everywhere I go, you're still there,
The scent of roses, hanging in the air.
Bridge:
Time moves slow, and I stand still,
Wounds of love, I'd thought they'd heal,
But your memory, keeps me bound,
In this maze, I'm lost, not found.
Chorus:
Lingering shadows, haunting my dreams,
Echoes of laughter, tearing at the seams,
Everywhere I go, you're still there,
The scent of roses, hanging in the air.
Outro:
The scent of roses in the air,
Reminds me of a time, we used to share,
A gentle breeze, your whispered plea,
Now you're just a ghost in my memory.
