[Verse]
I see your face in morning's light
But you're a dream I can't ignite
Your shadow dances in my mind
A love I’ll never get to find
[Verse 2]
I hear your voice in silent nights
But you're a star that's out of sight
The pain it burns within my chest
For love that's lost before its quest
[Chorus]
Why can't I hold what isn't mine
Hearts apart on different lines
The tears I cry alone tonight
For love that disappeared from sight
[Verse 3]
I taste the air that holds your name
Yet it's a scent I can't reclaim
Your laugh echoes in my past
A melody that's fading fast
[Bridge]
The moments that we never shared
Illusions with my heart they snared
I'll wander through these empty halls
And write our names upon the walls
[Chorus]
Why can't I hold what isn't mine
Hearts apart on different lines
The tears I cry alone tonight
For love that disappeared from sight
