[Verse 1] A fading light still lingers here The trace of you remains somehow Though buried deep beneath the years I can still feel you now I reach out with trembling hands But you dissolve like drifting smoke A silhouette I cannot hold A memory slipping through [Pre-Chorus] I keep begging you not to leave But the version of you inside my heart Has already found its freedom And quietly drifts away [Chorus] Afterimage, I still want to hold on to you Wishing you could stay forever Afterimage, I know I have to let you go Even for your sake, I must wash you away with tears The love we shared The memories we made I’ll keep them quietly within my heart [Verse 2] Inside the fragments of memory I find your smile again The days that gently filled my world Return so vividly And in a single fleeting moment Your afterimage shines once more Etched forever into my soul [Pre-Chorus] I try to hold on But you slip through my fingers The heart that wished you’d stay Whispers goodbye through silent tears [Chorus] Afterimage, I still want to hold on to you Wishing you could stay forever Afterimage, I know I have to let you go Even for your sake, I must wash you away with tears The love we shared The memories we made I’ll keep them quietly within my heart [Bridge] Your shadow slowly fades away Yet I know you truly existed I call your name one final time You stayed for a moment Then vanished into the distance [Final Chorus / Outro] Afterimage, I know I have to let you go Though I wished you’d never disappear Afterimage, for your sake I must release you I’ll remember you through my tears You and I For a little while Lived together inside these lingering afterimages
