[Verse]
The sun don’t rise the same no more, just burns the sky in red,
Like the war I fought out in the sand, still ragin’ in my head.
Your picture’s on the mantle still, it’s harder than it seems,
To live inside this broken house, haunted by your dreams.
[Verse 2]
The porch swing's got a lonesome creak, the yard’s gone wild with weeds,
Your laughter once would fill the air, now silence plants the seeds.
Every plank of these old floors, every squeak and groan,
Tells the tale of who we were, and how I'm here alone.
[Chorus]
The ashes of your memory still smolder in my chest,
I tried to douse the flames, but my heart won’t let it rest.
The echoes of your voice come like whispers on the breeze,
A love carved out of stone, now bringin' me to my knees.
[Verse 3]
The clock hands don’t run quite as fast, these days drag on for miles,
Your shadows linger in each room, tucked away in your old smiles.
I keep on swinging in the dark, fighting ghosts of you,
But even steel-tough hearts can break, when love cuts this deep through.
[Bridge]
Oh, I’ll mend these walls with quiet nights, and patch the leaks with tears,
The kind of man you left behind don’t crumble under fears.
Though the echoes try to pull me back, to days I held your hand,
I'll scrape up all my pieces, rebuild what I can stand.
[Chorus]
The ashes of your memory still smolder in my chest,
I tried to douse the flames, but my heart won’t let it rest.
The echoes of your voice come like whispers on the breeze,
A love carved out of stone, now bringin' me to my knees.
