(Verse 1)
Streetlights paint the pavement, a lonely glow
Another Friday night, nowhere left to go
Remember summer dreams, whispered in the dark?
Now just echoes, leaving their bitter mark.
Thought I saw your car, just a trick of the light
Heart still does that stupid thing, despite all my might
Empty coffee cups and a half-written song
Wondering where it all went, where we went wrong.
(Pre-Chorus)
The city hums a rhythm, but it's out of sync with me
Every memory a flashback, pulling me under, you see
I trace the lines of a photograph, faded and worn
Wishing on a star that your love would be reborn.
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm standing in the wreckage of a love that burned so bright
Like fireworks in July, fading into night
And I try to piece it together, the shattered glass and tears
But some stories just don't have a happy ending, it appears.
Oh, I thought we had forever, a handwritten decree
But forever's just a word now, whispered without me.
(Verse 2)
Saw your sister downtown, she just looked away
Guess some bridges burn, even when you pray
Heard you're doing fine now, living out your dream
Funny how the universe can be so mean.
I deleted all your messages, cleared out every trace
But your laugh still lingers, in this empty space
Guess I'm stuck here in the silence, with just the falling rain
Washing over memories, a bittersweet, dull pain.
(Pre-Chorus)
The city hums a rhythm, but it's out of sync with me
Every memory a flashback, pulling me under, you see
I trace the lines of a photograph, faded and worn
Wishing on a star that your love would be reborn.
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm standing in the wreckage of a love that burned so bright
Like fireworks in July, fading into night
And I try to piece it together, the shattered glass and tears
But some stories just don't have a happy ending, it appears.
Oh, I thought we had forever, a handwritten decree
But forever's just a word now, whispered without me.
(Bridge)
Maybe someday I'll look back and laugh at all of this
The naive girl who believed in a fairytale kiss
But tonight, the ache is heavy, a weight upon my chest
Just another ghost of you, putting me to the test.
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm standing in the wreckage of a love that burned so bright
Like fireworks in July, fading into night
And I try to piece it together, the shattered glass and tears
But some stories just don't have a happy ending, it appears.
Oh, I thought we had forever, a handwritten decree
But forever's just a word now, whispered without me.
(Outro)
Yeah, forever's just a word now, a lonely melody.
Just a whisper in the wind, a memory of you and me.
