[Verse]
The meadow faded where we used to play
Shadows crept in to steal you away
I thought our laughter could weather the storm
But love lit a fire and left us deformed
[Verse 2]
Your words became thorns beneath the moon’s cold light
Once golden whispers now wounds in the night
I reached for the warmth of a friendship sublime
But romance rewrote what was ours in time
[Chorus]
Why did we gamble what we held so dear
Parts of my soul still wait for you here
The ashes of trust blow away in the wind
Losing a best friend this way is a sin
[Verse 3]
The creek where we sat now murmurs in pain
Telling tales of closeness we couldn’t sustain
The forest we knew stands both mute and aware
Witness to moments we’ll never repair
[Bridge]
The letters we wrote dissolve in the rain
Echoes of us stitched with heartbreak and bane
Your gaze so distant yet closer it burned
A lesson of love that I wish I’d unlearned
[Chorus]
Why did we gamble what we held so dear
Parts of my soul still wait for you here
The ashes of trust blow away in the wind
Losing a best friend this way is a sin
