Lost Years, My Friend

[Verse 1]
We were just children, running wild and free,
Building castles out of dust, chasing endless dreams.
But somewhere the pages, they turned without me,
And a decade slipped by like a shadow unseen.

[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder if you still remember,
The nights we swore we'd never end.
But time can be a cruel pretender,
And I’m scared I lost more than a friend.

[Chorus]
I miss the days when we laughed until dawn,
Back when the world felt simple, felt strong.
Now I'm standing here with all these fears,
Trying to bridge the lost ten years.
Oh, my brother, can we find our way again?
I don’t want to lose you to the wind.

[Verse 2]
Your story kept moving, while I stayed behind,
I missed your chapters, the love, the climb.
I regret the silence, the distance, the space,
And I long for the warmth of your familiar face.

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you still hear the echoes calling,
Of two kids who swore they'd never bend?
I feel the weight of the years now falling,
But I still believe in us, my friend.

[Chorus]
I miss the days when we laughed until dawn,
Back when the world felt simple, felt strong.
Now I'm standing here with all these fears,
Trying to bridge the lost ten years.
Oh, my brother, can we find our way again?
I don’t want to lose you to the wind.

[Bridge]
Maybe time built walls too high,
But I won’t stop until I try.
If there’s a spark left in your eyes,
We can bring back what never truly dies.

[Chorus / Outro]
I miss the days when we laughed until dawn,
Back when the world felt simple, felt strong.
Now I'm reaching out across these years,
Hoping you'll meet me beyond the tears.
Oh, my brother, don’t let this be the end—
I still need you, my oldest friend.
