Verse 1:
In the quiet of the night, the whispers fade away
But the echoes of yesterday, they forever stay
Like shadows on the wall, they dance with the moonlight
Taking me back to a time when everything was right
Chorus:
And I, I can't forget those days
Caught in the web of a memory's maze
Oh why, why did it slip away?
Leaving me here with the echoes of yesterday
Verse 2:
The roads we used to walk, now covered in the dust
The smiles, the tears, the love, all turned to rust
I hear your voice so clear, like a melody astray
But it's just an illusion, a ghost of yesterday
Chorus:
And I, I can't forget those days
Caught in the web of a memory's maze
Oh why, why did it slip away?
Leaving me here with the echoes of yesterday
Bridge:
Time, it plays its cruel game
Taking pieces of your soul
But every beat, every pain
Makes you fight to stay whole
Verse 3:
Now I'm standing alone, where we made our dreams
I see reflections of us in the rippling streams
The past and present blur, and I can't find my way
Haunted forever by the echoes of yesterday
Chorus:
And I, I can't forget those days
Caught in the web of a memory's maze
Oh why, why did it slip away?
Leaving me here with the echoes of yesterday
Outro:
In the shadows of the night, where the memories lay
I'll be lost in the echoes, of our yesterday
