[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
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
