(Verse 1)
Sunrise paints the kitchen gold, just like it used to do
Coffee steams, a story told, of mornings shared with you
The scent of cinnamon hangs light, a ghost of laughter's sound
These little things, with all their might, keep memories unbound
(Chorus)
They hunt me, these echoes of the past
Whispering moments built to last
Each corner holds a hidden scene
Of what we were, and what has been
They hunt me, these fragments of the heart
Tearing my world so far apart
I try to run, I try to hide
But memories are always by my side
(Verse 2)
Walking down our favorite street, the cobblestones worn smooth
I hear your voice, so soft and sweet, carried on the breeze of youth
The park we loved, the willow tree, where secrets we would share
Each gentle rustle, sets me free, to breathe that bygone air
(Chorus)
They hunt me, these echoes of the past
Whispering moments built to last
Each corner holds a hidden scene
Of what we were, and what has been
They hunt me, these fragments of the heart
Tearing my world so far apart
I try to run, I try to hide
But memories are always by my side
(Bridge)
Some memories are bittersweet, a joy tinged with a pain
Knowing that we'll never meet, on this road we walked again
But even in the sorrow's hold, a flicker of warmth remains
A story whispered, to be told, through sunshine and through rains
(Chorus)
They hunt me, these echoes of the past
Whispering moments built to last
Each corner holds a hidden scene
Of what we were, and what has been
They hunt me, these fragments of the heart
Tearing my world so far apart
I try to run, I try to hide
But memories are always by my side
(Outro)
And though they hunt me, I confess, I wouldn't want them gone
These memories, I will possess, until my final dawn.
