Amethyst the Dragon - If Only

[Verse 1] The moon hangs low above the trees A silent ghost upon the breeze The shadows whisper through the night And every star has lost its light I walk these halls of broken dreams Still hearing distant, haunting screams The memories won't fade away They're buried deep, but here they stay [Pre-Chorus] I see your face in every storm A fading light I can't hold on [Chorus] If only I had one more chance One more moment, one last dance Maybe then you'd still be here Instead of fading year by year If only I had said goodbye Before I watched our world just die Now all that's left are tears and rain And echoes calling out your name [Verse 2] The clock still ticks inside the dark Each second leaves another mark The photographs begin to fade Like promises we never made The cold has settled in my soul A shattered heart that won't be whole I reach for you through endless night But vanish with the morning light [Pre-Chorus] Your voice still lingers in my head A song that's sung among the dead [Chorus] If only I had one more chance One more moment, one last dance Maybe then you'd still be here Instead of fading year by year If only I had said goodbye Before I watched our world just die Now all that's left are tears and rain And echoes calling out your name [Bridge] The darkness knows the things I've done The battles lost, the wars I've won But none of that can change the past Or make a broken memory last The wind cries out beyond the grave For all the souls it could not save And in the silence, I can see... The ghost of what we used to be [Final Chorus] If only time could turn around Undo the pain, erase the sound Of shattered hearts and lonely cries Beneath these cold and empty skies If only dreams could make things right I'd find you waiting in the night But morning comes, and you're still gone So I keep carrying on... [Outro] If only... If only... The shadows softly called out to me... If only you were here with me...
