[Verse 1] The walls grew thin as the daylight dimmed, Shadows clung to every word you spoke. Every breath you took was a wound I carried too, And I blamed myself, knowing it couldn’t heal with you here. [Pre-Chorus 1] The weight of love became a chain, Every heartbeat spelled your name. [Chorus 1] You faded like a ghost through the cracks of the air, A shadow I carried but couldn’t repair. The closer I held, the further you went, A lifetime of fire burned down to a scent. [Verse 2] I prayed for strength but cursed the strain, Resentment grew beneath the pain. Now silence cuts deeper than the hours I bore, Grief entwined with guilt I can’t ignore. [Pre-Chorus 2] The weight of love became a chain, But every heartbeat spelled your name. [Chorus 2] You faded like a ghost through the cracks of the air, A shadow I carried but couldn’t repair. I begged for release, but the words never came, Now the echo returns, and it whispers my shame. [Bridge] In dreams you walk where the silence grows, By the water’s edge where memory flows. I reach for you, but my hands come back bare, Grasping the shape of what isn’t there. A flutter remains -- a butterfly’s trace, Still guiding me through this empty space. [Verse 3] You would’ve held us in the grief we hide, Said, “Let go -- I know you tried.” Your love remains in the spaces between, In moments of stillness, in what can’t be seen, In the delicate brush of a butterfly’s wing. [Final Pre-Chorus] The weight of love became a chain, But every heartbeat spelled your name. [Final Chorus] You faded like a ghost through the cracks of the air, A mark remains where your hope lives in me. Your light moves in places the eye cannot see, Still stitching the silence between you and me. [Outro] Still breathing in the spaces you left behind. Still walking in the light you offered the world. Where love no longer binds, but softly remains. Where love no longer binds, but softly remains.
