Streetlights flicker through my blinds

Memories I can't outrun

Every photo in the hall

Reminds me we're undone

Each moment frozen in my mind

Like pictures I can't burn

The sweetness left behind

In lessons that I learned

Coffee cups still hold your trace

In rings upon my desk

Your smile haunts this place

Like some romantic grotesque

The songs we used to play

Now pierce me like a knife

The words we couldn't say

Still echo through my life

Time doesn't heal like they say

Just teaches how to look away

From all the dreams we left untied

And all the tears we never cried

In empty rooms where love once grew

I'm still searching for the truth

Was it real or just a phase?

Lost in these endless replays

3 AM and I'm still here

Drowning in what could have been

Years dissolve into fear

Of never loving again

But maybe that's the price we pay

For hearts that dare to leap

Some memories just stay

Too beautiful to keep

Your name lights up my phone

From messages long past

Funny how we've grown

Into strangers so fast

I trace the life we planned

Now scattered in the wind

Like footprints in the sand

That waves won't let rescind

Time doesn't heal like they say

Just teaches how to look away

From all the dreams we left untied

And all the tears we never cried

In empty rooms where love once grew

I'm still searching for the truth

Was it real or just a phase?

Lost in these endless replays
