Who is This Stranger

[Intro]
Fading photographs, flickering in my mind
Lost in the shadows, I can't seem to find
A face I once knew, in the mirror’s cold stare
Who is this stranger, with my heart laid bare?

[Verse 1]
Walking through memories, footsteps fell soft
Love in the silence, but now it’s lost
Your voice is a whisper, distant and faint
A ghost in the echoes, a love I can't paint

[Pre-Chorus]
I look into your eyes, trying to see
The girl I loved, the girl inside of me
But it’s a stranger’s gaze, a different face
Caught in the mirror, I’m lost in the space

[Chorus]
I don’t recognize the girl I fell for
A shadow of love, slipping out the door
Who are you now, in this quiet decay?
I loved a ghost, but she’s gone away

[Verse 2]
Photos gathering dust, stories left untold
Memories fading, turning cold
Every smile now feels so far removed
From the girl I knew, the girl I loved

[Pre-Chorus]
I reach out in the darkness, grasp for her hand
But it’s empty, just an echo in broken land
The laughter, the tears, all slipping away
Lost in a nightmare I can't escape

[Chorus]
I don’t recognize the girl I fell for
A shadow of love, slipping out the door
Who are you now, in this quiet decay?
I loved a ghost, but she’s gone away

[Bridge]
Maybe I’m losing my mind, maybe I’m blind
Or maybe she’s just lost in time
But I’ll hold onto the love, even through the pain
Hoping someday, she’ll find her way back again

[Outro]
Fading photographs, flickering in my mind
Love in the silence, but now it’s lost
A face I once knew, in the mirror’s cold stare
Who is this stranger, with my heart laid bare?
