Tears on the Sidewalk

[Verse] The rain fell hard on the broken street Each drop a whisper a heartbeat's defeat A lonely shadow with nowhere to go Carrying burdens they'll never show [Verse 2] A photograph crumpled tight in their hand Memories slipping like grains of sand The faces fade but the ache remains A heart once whole now bound in chains [Chorus] Tears on the sidewalk washed away by the storm A soul once vibrant now weathered and worn The world keeps turning but they're standing still Caught in the echoes of a love that kills [Verse 3] The clock ticks loud in the empty room A haunting reminder of impending doom The mirror reflects a stranger's eyes Searching for answers in a sea of lies [Bridge] The stars above don't seem to care They're shining bright while life's unfair A silent scream no one can hear Drowning in sorrow year after year [Chorus] Tears on the sidewalk washed away by the storm A soul once vibrant now weathered and worn The world keeps turning but they're standing still Caught in the echoes of a love that kills
