[Verse 1]
I still see her by the riverbank,
Her laughter rising with the breeze,
The way she turned, the way she smiled,
Brought me down to my knees.
I asked her then, with a trembling voice,
"Will you be mine, will you be my choice?"
[Chorus]
Now she's gone, she's holding someone new,
And I'm lost, don't know what to do.
Empty without her, can't find my way,
The nights are long, and so are the days.
Empty without her, it cuts like a knife,
She was my heart, she was my life.
[Verse 2]
I still remember that first soft "yes,"
The way her hand fit into mine.
Now the echoes of her voice haunt me,
Like a ghost trapped in time.
Does he know her favorite song?
Does he hold her where I belong?
[Prechorus]
Confusion wraps me, tight like a chain,
How can love just turn into pain?
[Chorus]
Now she's gone, she's holding someone new,
And I'm lost, don't know what to do.
Empty without her, can't find my way,
The nights are long, and so are the days.
Empty without her, it cuts like a knife,
She was my heart, she was my life.
[Bridge]
I drive past her house, but the lights are low,
In my chest, the ache starts to grow.
Does she laugh like she used to with me?
Or am I just a memory she set free?
