INSTRUMENTAL INTRO — THE SILENCE AFTER LOVE VERSE 1 — REALIZING THAT LOVE HAS CHANGED I was so sure we'd be the ones to last, Your heartbeat steady, mine strong and fast. But the years turned rivers into dust and sand, Eroding the ground beneath our hands. Now the silence stretches like an endless field, Where echoes of laughter start to yield. I chase the spark that once lit the night, But shadows fall hard in the pale moonlight. PRE-CHORUS 1 — GRIEVING WHAT HAS SLIPPED AWAY And the ache is deeper than any scar I bore, In the spaces where our worlds used to pour. Waves of old feelings crash against the shore, Leaving me wondering what this is for. CHORUS 1 — ACCEPTING WHAT REMAINS What's left of us? Just the fog on the glass, The chill in the air when the evening mass, Of memories press down like a heavy hand, On the fragile thread we once held so grand. It cuts through the dark, it stings like the rain, This pain that remains, but I feel no shame. In the quiet hours, I hold what we were, And I swear it's enough to keep me from harm. VERSE 2 — LIVING AMONG THE MEMORIES I remember the way your voice would wrap around me, Like warm smoke in the firelight, so steady. Now it lingers in rooms I used to share, A gentle whisper that cuts through the air. The world keeps spinning, indifferent and wild, But my heart slows down, stays mostly mild. I search for the spark that once burned so bright, Yet the fuel is gone, and the dark feels right. PRE-CHORUS 2 — ACKNOWLEDGING WHAT CANNOT BE RECLAIMED Waves of old feelings crash against the shore, Leaving me wondering what this is for. I reach for something I can no longer hold, And feel the weight of everything we couldn't know. CHORUS 2 — MAKING PEACE WITH THE PAST What's left of us? Just the fog on the glass, The chill in the air when the evening mass, Of memories press down like a heavy hand, On the fragile thread we once held so grand. It cuts through the dark, it stings like the rain, This pain that remains, but I feel no shame. In the quiet hours, I hold what we were, And I swear it's enough to keep me from harm. INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — THE LAST TRACE OF WHAT WAS BRIDGE — FINDING BEAUTY IN WHAT HAS ENDED Maybe the love we had was never the kind That survives the test of the passing of time. Maybe the truth is buried deep in the mind, That this is all I can ever find. I hold on to the pieces I can still see, In the fading light, where the echoes used to be. The pain may sting but it teaches me this, To stand in the ruins, to love the abyss. And as the stars fade, I find peace in the dark, That whatever remains, it's a work of art. BRIDGE RISE — THE MOMENT OF ACCEPTANCE FINAL CHORUS — CHERISHING THE PAST AND LETTING GO What's left of us... is the fog on the glass, The chill in the air, the evening mass... Of memories press down, but I carry it all, On the fragile thread, standing tall. It cuts through the dark, it stings like the rain, This pain that remains... but I feel no shame. In the quiet hours, I hold what we were, And I swear it's enough... it's enough... it's enough. INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO — RELEASING THE LAST MEMORY ────── © 2026 IRINNA QUINN. All rights reserved.
