[Verse] Echoes in the hallway whispers gone too soon Empty seats and broken dreams under a pale moon Laughter now a memory the silence deafening A shadow cast upon my heart it's slowly reckoning [Verse 2] In the corridors I wander seeking traces of your smile Time feels like an enemy stretching mile by mile The whispers tell a story of a tragic turning tide And in my chest an endless ache no one else can hide [Chorus] Why'd you have to leave me lonely in this ghost of a school Every corner's haunted with the absence of your rule Life's a puppet show with strings that always break My heart's a shattered mirror for no one else's sake [Bridge] The world spins on indifferent the sun sets in its place But I'm stuck in this moment forever chasing your face Empty desks and broken dreams they taunt me every day I'm shouting at the silence but it's you that fades away [Verse 3] In the yearbook pages your name is frozen still But the pain of your departure is something I can't kill Friends all say they miss you they laugh and carry on But I'm drowning in the sorrow of a life devoid of dawn [Chorus] Why'd you have to leave me lonely in this ghost of a school Every corner's haunted with the absence of your rule Life's a puppet show with strings that always break My heart's a shattered mirror for no one else's sake
