let me drop a beat, a shadow I must unmask,
Of a love I fumbled, a sacred vow I couldn't keep tasked.
She was my compass, my vault where secrets reside,
Knew the fault lines in my soul, the oceans deep inside.
We built a castle of laughter, brick by innocent brick,
Never thought I'd ignite the fuse, a friendship that would tick.
But the seasons turned, a different bloom took its hold,
Something more than sunlight on our story to be told.
Yeah, I tumbled into her orbit, a comet off course,
Didn't have the map to navigate, the magnetic force.
Sunrise bled across the canvas, those memories still gleam,
Cruisin' those asphalt rivers, lost in a waking dream.
Nothin' but whispers on the wind, castles we drew in the sand,
Life wore a velvet cloak then, a comforting, gentle hand.
Her laugh, a silver chime, a melody on the breeze,
The kind that could still the chaos, rustling through the trees.
My North Star shining brightly, through tempest and through calm,
Never pictured myself the storm, causing irreparable harm.
Yeah, those feelings, a wildfire, creeping through the night,
Started treating her like yesterday's news, dimming her inner light.
And the guitars weep now, a lonely, rain-soaked tune,
'Cause the bridge we had crafted, collapsed beneath a cruel moon.
I held her heart like a trinket, played careless, childish games,
Stoked the embers of false desire, whispered counterfeit names.
Now the silence, a thick fog, where joy used to freely roam,
Just vacant echoes linger, in the chambers we called home.
The one who worshipped her spirit, veiled beneath the guise,
Just a ghost in her reflection, behind indifferent eyes.
Used to send up flares of connection, just to hear her say,
Now my tongue's a frozen compass, lost for words to convey.
See her on distant shores now, gotta turn my ship away,
The silence between us, a shadow that haunts my day.
We pass like ships in the twilight, a forgotten lore,
All the chapters we penned together, scattered on the floor.
From whispered secrets at midnight, to a slammed and bolted door,
This burden of regret, forever I'll have to pour.
Yeah, I bartered her precious trust for a fleeting, foolish thrill,
Now the anchor of my best friendship lies tragically still.
Remember that worn-out haven, our corner of the world's loud din?
Sharing our fragile blueprints, where honesty grew thin.
Now I cruise past it slowly, a shard of ice in my core,
Thinking of all the milestones I failed to explore.
To be the steadfast harbor, the shore she could always find,
Instead, I built up walls of silence, leaving her behind.
On a love that was a soft sunrise, a bond forged in the sun,
Replaced its vibrant colors with a horizon, gray and done.
Yeah, I shattered the looking glass, plain for the world to see,
And the chasm between our souls deepens annually.
And the drums now pound a dirge, a rhythm of pure despair,
'Cause the fractured vows we made, beyond repair.
I held her heart like a trinket, played careless, childish games,
