Verse 1:
In the quiet of the night, I hear your whispers,
Echoes soft like velvet, tracing all my fears.
Ghostly shadows dance around the room,
You linger just beyond the light, a bittersweet perfume.
Chorus:
Oh, where have you gone?
These memories won't set me free.
I chase the ghost of you,
You're haunting me too endlessly.
Verse 2:
I walk through mazes of our forgotten dreams,
Every corner turns dark, unraveling the seams.
Your laughter rings like bells, a distant chime,
But in every note, I drown deeper in time.
Chorus:
Oh, where have you gone?
These memories won't set me free.
I chase the ghost of you,
You're haunting me too endlessly.
Bridge:
In the mirror, I see your face,
A thousand shards of love and grace.
I reach out, but you fade away,
Nightmares blend with the light of day.
Verse 3:
Echoes of you fill this empty space,
Delusions wrap me in your warm embrace.
Fingers touch the air where you used to be,
Lost in shadows, begging for a memory.
Chorus:
Oh, where have you gone?
These memories won't set me free.
I chase the ghost of you,
You're haunting me too endlessly.
Outro:
As the light breaks, I cradle my pain,
In a world without you, I'm lost in the rain.
Every step, a dance with my shattered heart,
In this cycle of grief, we will never part.
