Ethereal
(Verse 1)
I remember the days, how we used to laugh,
A world built on dreams, no shadows in our path.
Your love was a fire, an unearthly glow,
And I stood in its warmth, too blind to know.
The echoes of joy, they haunt me still,
But the silence now cuts deeper than the chill.
I can’t find the ruins; there’s nothing to see,
Just an empty space where we used to be.
(Chorus)
How did we burn so fast, so bright,
A love extinguished in the blink of a night?
The universe played us, it tore us in two,
How can this be the end, when you said, “I love you”?
I chose this path, and now I stand alone,
Your ethereal love—my heart’s gravestone.
(Verse 2)
Your touch was the moonlight, soft on my skin,
A fleeting moment, where did it begin?
Your voice was the wind that carried my name,
Now it’s a whisper, a ghost I can’t tame.
I was entranced, caught in your light,
But I let it fade, I didn’t hold tight.
It’s my fault, I see it, I feel the weight,
I traded forever for a fleeting mistake.
(Chorus)
How did we burn so fast, so bright,
A love extinguished in the blink of a night?
The universe played us, it tore us in two,
How can this be the end, when you said, “I love you”?
I chose this path, and now I stand alone,
Your ethereal love—my heart’s gravestone.
(Bridge)
The stars don’t shine the way they used to,
Every corner of this world reminds me of you.
I built a home in the warmth of your soul,
Now it’s gone, and I’m left in the cold.
The fault is mine, I can’t deny,
I let us slip, I let love die.
But how do I live knowing you gave me your all,
And I was the one who let it fall?
(Final Chorus)
How did we burn so fast, so bright,
A love extinguished in the blink of a night?
The universe played us, it tore us in two,
How can this be the end, when you said, “I love you”?
I chose this path, and now I stand alone,
Your ethereal love—my heart’s gravestone.
(Outro)
I’ll carry your light, though it’s no longer mine,
A love so pure, it transcends time.
But in this life, I’ll pay the cost,
For your ethereal love was the one I lost.
