(Verse 1)
She walks the streets, just a shadow in the night,
With dreams of a better life fading out of sight.
Eyes like the ocean, but her heart's filled with pain,
In a world so hollow, only darkness remains.
(Chorus)
Oh, broken night, where do you lead?
In the alleyways, she chases the greed.
Lost in the game, it's a dangerous ride,
A heart of gold, but the light's turned aside.
(Verse 2)
With a needle in her hand, chasing yesterday's high,
She laughs and she cries, under the cold, starry sky.
Once had a family, once had a dream,
Now she's just a ghost in this faded street scene.
(Chorus)
Oh, broken night, where do you lead?
In the alleyways, she chases the greed.
Lost in the game, it's a dangerous ride,
A heart of gold, but the light's turned aside.
(Bridge)
And every failed promise, her heart starts to break,
In the silence of darkness, she fights to awake.
But the needle's a lover, and it whispers her name,
In the arms of addiction, she’s losing the game.
(Chorus)
Oh, broken night, where do you lead?
In the alleyways, she chases the greed.
Lost in the game, it's a dangerous ride,
A heart of gold, but the light's turned aside.
(Outro)
And in the morning light, when the world starts to wake,
She'll be just a memory, just another heartbreak.
So remember her name, let her story be told,
In the echoes of love, for the lost and the bold.
