[Intro]
In the quiet of the night, echoes of a love so bright,
Fading dreams, shattered seams, in the absence of your light.
[Verse 1]
Fourteen years, and all I feel is shadows in my mind,
Mom, you left too soon, a cruel twist of fate unkind.
In this darkened room, I search for a glimpse of you,
But every corner whispers pain, reminding me of what’s true.
[Pre-Chorus]
Grandma sits alone, in a silence filled with grief,
Wondering how love slipped away, stolen like a thief.
[Chorus]
Lost in this empty presence, my heart is torn apart,
Memories like shattered glass, each piece a broken start.
Oh, how do I breathe, when the darkness holds me down?
Searching for a way up, but I’m drowning in this town.
[Verse 2]
Taylor’s eyes are clouded, full of words she never said,
Arguing away the moments that should’ve been love instead.
Regrets that cling like fallen leaves, no more time to mend,
If only she could turn back, find a way to be a better sister.
[Bridge]
Uncle Christopher’s feet are heavy, lost in cigarettes and despair,
Drowning in the memories, he battles with the air.
Kailey cries in silence, holding pain in every tear,
Aaliyah’s heart feels heavy, you were her world, so near.
[Chorus]
Lost in this empty presence, my heart is torn apart,
Memories like shattered glass, each piece a broken start.
Oh, how do I breathe, when the darkness holds me down?
Searching for a way up, but I’m drowning in this town.
[Verse 3]
Jaedyn, Jordyn, Giovanni, calling to the sky so wide,
Holding on to distant memories of love that never died.
We try to be so tough, but inside we’re breaking free,
Facing every single day with the weight of what can't be.
[Outro]
So here I am, a soul adrift, in this world that feels so wrong,
Trying to carry on for us, but the echoes feel too strong.
Each day's a whispered longing, each night, a silent fight,
Finding solace in the memory of your gentle, guiding light.
