(Verse 1) In the quiet of my room, I still smell your perfume, It lingers like the questions that I can't escape. The echoes of your goodbye, under the cold night sky, I'm grappling with the silence you left in your wake. (Chorus) 'Cause you were my everything, now I'm tethered to a dream, A phantom of the love that we used to know. I'm reaching for your hand, in a land of sinking sand, But all I grasp is emptiness, and I can't let go. (Verse 2) The pictures on the wall, they don't comfort me at all, They're just reminders of the world we built to fall. The laughter that we shared, the way you said you cared, Now it's just a whisper that I can't recall. (Chorus) You were my everything, now I'm tethered to a dream, A ghost of the 'us' that's now just me alone. I'm calling out your name, but it's lost in the rain, And I'm left with nothing but this aching in my bones. (Bridge) I'm sifting through the ashes, trying to find a flame, But love's a fickle fire, and it's never quite the same. I gave you all my heart, and I'd do it all again, But now I'm just a poet, with a pen and all this pain. (Chorus) You were my everything, my laughter in the spring, Now winter's come and settled in my soul's hollow room. I'm reaching for your hand, in a land of sinking sand, But all I grasp is emptiness, and the echo of our tune. (Outro) In the quiet of my room, I still smell your perfume, A bittersweet reminder, that love can leave too soon.
