The sky once held a brighter hue, Where you and I could rise and roam, But now it fades, a faded view, A distant place I once called home. I reach for words that slip like rain, For moments left beneath the years, And in the stillness, faint remains, The trace of laughter laced with tears. [Chorus] How did we drift so far? The spark we couldn’t see, Lost within a distant star, A half-remembered memory. We linger in forgotten scenes, In shadows of what might have been, And like an echo from a dream, I feel you drifting thin. I thought we’d keep the fire alive, Through every storm, through every fall, But the seasons took what we’d contrive, Leaving whispers down the hall. Each step now pulls me through the haze, Through what we built, through all we kept, And as I walk the empty maze, I trace the paths that once were swept. [Chorus] How did we drift so far? The spark we couldn’t see, Lost within a distant star, A half-remembered memory. We linger in forgotten scenes, In shadows of what might have been, And like an echo from a dream, I feel you drifting thin. In broken light, I see your face, A glimpse that fades, yet still it stays, A haunting warmth, a fleeting trace, In memories of softer days. [Chorus] How did we drift so far? The spark we couldn’t see, Lost within a distant star, A half-remembered memory. We linger in forgotten scenes, In shadows of what might have been, And like an echo from a dream, I feel you drifting thin.
