Lost and Left Behind

Twenty-two years, gone in a flash

Left me here, holding the past

A house once filled with laughter and love

Now it's silent, like a hollowed-out cove

She took everything, every memory, every dream

Left me standing in the ruins, lost in a silent scream

Kids grew up, found their way, left this old man behind

Now I walk these empty halls, with echoes in my mind

I’m still here, still standing in this old road

But the weight of goodbye, it’s heavy, it’s cold

Wishing she was here, wishing for her to stay

But some things are lost, they just drift away

Gone from home, from the love we knew

Left this old heart broken and blue

Family's gone, but I remain

Remnants of a love turned pain

Forever alone, after twenty-two years

I’m holding on, to fading gears

Oh, she left, yeah, she left

Now I’m just a shadow of myself

Sometimes I wonder what she’s doing now

If the love's still burning, if she’s thinking how

One day she might come back, or is it just a ghost

Haunting the memories I cherish most

Twenty-two years, all gone in a blink

Lost everything, didn't even get time to think

But I carry on, with this heavy soul

Waiting, hoping, for some kind of gold
