Like whispers on the morning breeze
Like footprints in the rain
You fade away I fade away
Remnants of what used to remain
Used to walk these streets with purpose
Hand in hand with a future bright
Now I'm just a ghost in the shadows
Lost in the lonely city night
Promises whispered in the moonlight
Dreams we swore we'd chase
Forever etched upon my heart
A love that couldn't be replaced
Haunted by a love that's vanished
A melody with a broken string
Trying to piece together fragments
But the puzzle's missing everything
Maybe someday the pain will soften
And set my spirit free
For now I'm lost in the darkness
A prisoner I must be
Like whispers on the morning breeze
Like footprints in the rain
You fade away I fade away
Remnants of what used to remain
Empty storefronts boarded windows
Mirror the emptiness inside
These streets that held so much ambition
Now feel hollow nowhere to hide
Used to hustle heart on fire
Chasing dreams with youthful might
Now the only chase I'm in
Is running from the memories of the fading light
Footsteps echo in the alley
A symphony of my despair
Every corner holds a fragment
A whisper of what we used to share
The city's symphony plays on
A soundtrack to my fading scene
The melody I crave the most
Forever lost a fading dream
Like whispers on the morning breeze
Like footprints in the rain
You fade away I fade away
Remnants of what used to remain
Like whispers on the morning breeze
A memory that can't stay
You fade away I fade away
Lost and searching for a way
Maybe one day I'll find a reason
A purpose to ignite the spark
To rise above the ashes of heartbreak
Leave this lonely mark
For now I wear the shadows
A cloak to shield the world from view
A broken record on repeat
A song of "what could have been" and "true"
I'll keep on walking one step at a time
Hoping for a brand new start
This city may hold the remnants
But it won't hold my broken heart
Somewhere out there a new horizon
A chance to rewrite my fate
To fade away from the darkness
And rise again no longer late
