Verse 1
The bells still ring across the town,
The market wakes, the sun comes down,
Children laugh like nothing changed at all.
But I walk these streets with empty hands,
A broken heart no one understands,
Carrying the weight of a final fall.
Pre-Chorus
And every step feels colder now,
The world keeps turning somehow.
Chorus
So I’ll sit here on this bench alone,
Where the ghosts of yesterday still call me home.
Holding on to a silver chain,
Trying to survive the pain.
The wind still whispers your name to me,
Through the ruins and the dying trees.
If love can live beyond goodbye,
Then somewhere, you’re still by my side.
Verse 2
The stones remember what we were,
The halls, the wars, your quiet words,
Echoes dancing through the morning frost.
I close my eyes and see your face,
A fleeting light I can’t replace,
A piece of me forever lost.
Pre-Chorus
The years may turn these walls to dust,
But memory won’t rust.
Chorus
So I’ll sit here on this bench alone,
Where the ghosts of yesterday still call me home.
Holding on to a silver chain,
Trying to survive the pain.
The wind still whispers your name to me,
Through the ruins and the dying trees.
If love can live beyond goodbye,
Then somewhere, you’re still by my side.
Bridge
They say time heals every wound,
But some scars learn to sing.
Some loves never leave the heart,
No matter what tomorrow brings.
And if the world forgets our names,
If every story fades away,
I’ll remember you.
Final Chorus
I’ll sit here on this bench alone,
But I know I’m not truly on my own.
Every sunrise, every star,
Carries a piece of who you are.
The wind still whispers your name to me,
Through the ruins and the dying trees.
And when my journey reaches the end,
I’ll see you once again.
Outro
The bells still ring across the town…
And I still hear you now.
