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.
