Tears on the Pavement

The sky fell heavy on my aching chest today

Shadows of your smile

They just won't fade away

I tried to hold the pieces

But they slipped through my hand

Now I'm standing here alone

Sinking in the sand

Tears on the pavement

They're calling your name

Your echo in my hollow heart

It don't feel the same

The stars won’t shine tonight

The night’s so dim

Drowning in these memories

Can’t seem to swim

I find your sweater folded where you used to stay

The warmth is gone

Just like the words you’d say

I scream but the silence eats me alive

Trying to dance in a world where love couldn’t survive

Tears on the pavement

They're calling your name

Your echo in my hollow heart

It don’t feel the same

The stars won’t shine tonight

The night’s so dim

Drowning in these memories

Can’t seem to swim

Can't put time in reverse no matter how I try

Every second moves without your hand in mine

I’m holding onto nothing

Chasing shadowed dreams

This broken clock keeps ticking

Ripping at the seams

Tears on the pavement

They're calling your name

Your echo in my hollow heart

It don’t feel the same

The stars won’t shine tonight

The night’s so dim

Drowning in these memories

Can’t seem to swim
