Footsteps on the Malecon

Verse 1 Walking down the Malecon, under skies of blue and gray, Fifteen years behind me, but it feels like yesterday, The waves crash softly, a whisper of the past, But he’s just a shadow, fading, gone too fast. Chorus Is it fear, is it sadness, or something in between? I’m not sure what I’m feeling, but I know that I’m free, Reclaiming every step, every place that we knew, In the heart of Puerto Vallarta, I’m starting anew. Verse 2 I pass by the café where we once used to sit, But the laughter we shared, it doesn’t seem to fit, I order a drink, raise a toast to myself, In this moment of freedom, I’m finding my wealth. Chorus Is it fear, is it sadness, or something in between? I’m not sure what I’m feeling, but I know that I’m free, Reclaiming every step, every place that we knew, In the heart of Puerto Vallarta, I’m starting anew. Bridge The faces here are friendly, though the bonds won’t last, But in their smiles, I find a way to leave the past, I’m not looking for forever, just a night, a song, In this fleeting connection, I know I belong. Verse 3 The sun sets on the Malecon, casting gold on the sea, And for the first time in years, I feel like just me, He’s a ghost I’m leaving behind on this shore, With every step forward, I reclaim more. Chorus Is it fear, is it sadness, or something in between? I’m not sure what I’m feeling, but I know that I’m free, Reclaiming every step, every place that we knew, In the heart of Puerto Vallarta, I’m starting anew. Outro So I walk on, into the night, the stars my guide, With a heart that’s torn, but open wide, Whatever tomorrow brings, I know I’ll see, In these footsteps on the Malecon, I’ve found the key.
