Missing you

Waking up to an empty room,

Echoes of laughter fade too soon,

Photos on the wall, memories collide,

Every smile a ghost, I can’t let it slide.

Chorus:

But I’m fighting against myself,

Trying to rise from the shadows I’ve shelved,

Chasing dreams I thought I lost,

But the past keeps holding, oh, at what cost?

Verse 2:

Every weekend feels like a test,

Hope's a flicker, but I’m feeling pressed,

Got a job to hold, bills to pay,

Yet my heart is heavy, longing for play.

Chorus:

I’m fighting against myself,

Trying to rise from the shadows I've shelved,

Chasing dreams I thought I lost,

But the past keeps holding, oh, at what cost?

Bridge:

Late nights thinking of what could’ve been,

Every ‘sorry’ echoes, where do I begin?

Finding strength in the lessons of pain,

Searching for sunlight in the pouring rain.

Verse 3:

With every sunrise, I’ll take a step,

Building a future with no regret,

For my kids, I’ll learn to stand tall,

In this brokenness, I’ll answer the call.

Chorus:

But I’m fighting against myself,

Trying to rise from the shadows I’ve shelved,

Chasing dreams I thought I lost,

But the past keeps holding, oh, at what cost?

Outro:

One day I’ll smile and truly mean it,

With my heart wide open, I’ll believe in it,

This journey’s hard, but I’ll take the ride,

For the love of my children, I’ll find my pride.
