I held the stars but they slipped away
Grains of time falling night to day
Echoes linger where laughter sang
Now silence haunts like a ghostly hand
Oh shadows trace the life we knew
A fading picture all out of view
Chasing whispers through the endless blue
But I keep tripping on thoughts of you
The wind it sighs through the hollow tree
A perfect metaphor for what’s left of me
Every breath that fills my chest
Holds the weight of memories
Never at rest
I scream at the moon till the night turns pale
Every tear’s a letter this grief won't mail
A stranger to myself I’ve become
Lost in the echoes of all unsung
Oh shadows trace the life we knew
A fading picture all out of view
Chasing whispers through the endless blue
But I keep tripping on thoughts of you
Empty skies stretch without an end
Every corner reminds of a missing friend
I build tomorrow on shaky ground
A fragile hope where pain resounds
