[Verse]
Shadows in the hallway, whispers in the static
Memories sharp, cutting deep, cinematic
Empty chairs at the table, cold plates remain
Faces in the glass, fogged up by the rain
Candle wax drips, clocks tick, cruel and slow
Time don't heal, just a thief with a cloak
Eyes closed, see 'em clearer than the daylight
Phantom echoes, they haunt me in the night
[Chorus]
Gone but never gone, they linger in the air
Lost ones call my name, I feel 'em everywhere
Regret's a ghost, it wraps around my chest
Choking on the words I never could confess
[Verse 2]
Took 'em for granted, now I’m gripping at smoke
Laughter turned to silence, my mind's a cruel joke
Photos in a box, dust thick on the frame
Every smile frozen, but the ache stays the same
Regret’s a tether, pulling hard at my seams
Haunted by the moments I killed in my dreams
A symphony of could’ve-beens, playing in my ear
I shout at the shadows, but they never disappear
[Bridge]
Footsteps in the attic, or is it just my mind?
Echoes in the stairwell, the past I can’t rewind
A toast to the absent, glasses filled with pain
Pour one out for the ones I'll never hold again
