Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] Yesterday I watched them play Their little hands reached out his way Their laughter echoed through the air I stood frozen just to stare [Prechorus] The life I built now feels erased By the man who took my place [Chorus] He holds their smiles like they’re his own While I stand here A shadow alone It crushed my soul But I know I know I gotta let it go I gotta let it go [Verse 2] The swing set swayed Their joy was loud He caught their dreams I felt the crowd A family picture I don’t fit My heart cracked more with every bit [Bridge] Do they remember me at all Or have I faded like the fall The leaves they rake The games they play I’m just a ghost who walked away [Chorus] He holds their smiles like they’re his own While I stand here A shadow alone It crushed my soul But I know I know I gotta let it go I gotta let it go
