(Verse 1)
I see her smile, lighting up the day,
And I stand back, just out of the way,
She’s like the sun, warming all she finds,
While I’m just a thought, fading in her mind.
(Pre-Chorus)
I reach, but she’s further each time I try,
Her laughter’s a song that just passes by.
(Chorus)
I’m holding on to a love that won’t stay,
Chasing a dream that drifts further away,
Lost in the silence, wrapped in the ache,
Loving her deeply, though my heart might break.
(Verse 2)
Her life moves on, like the tides and the sea,
While I’m just stuck, where I shouldn’t be,
Words on my lips, but they fall like rain,
In her endless glow, I’m left with the pain.
(Pre-Chorus)
Still here I am, hoping she’ll see,
The way my heart aches, the way it bleeds.
(Chorus)
I’m holding on to a love that won’t stay,
Chasing a dream that drifts further away,
Lost in the silence, wrapped in the ache,
Loving her deeply, though my heart might break.
(Bridge)
Maybe I’m foolish, maybe I’m wrong,
Hanging on tight to a love gone long,
She’s the warmth, the calm, the breath I need,
I’d give every moment just to believe.
(Chorus)
But I’m holding on to a love that won’t stay,
Chasing a dream that fades to gray,
Clinging to hope the wind will take,
Loving her deeply, though my heart might break.
(Outro)
So here I’ll remain, where she once had been,
Loving the life that we could’ve seen,
My heart beats alone, no words left to say,
For a love that’s silent, slipping away.
