**Intro calm and sad monologue:** - I'm leaving, and only an echo will remain of what once felt like home. [Instrumental Build-Up] **(Verse)** Someone once told me That leaving is always hard. I believed it, but my heart doesn’t, It clings to old streets, To empty courtyards. You still shine, but not for me. You’re still warm, but you burn me to the bone. I tried to breathe you in like before, But the air grew heavy, and I don’t have the strength. [Guitar Solo] [Guitar Solo] **(Chorus)** "I’ll come back..." Sounds sooo foolish. "I’ll come back..." Echoes sooo faintly among these mountains. [Guitar Solo] **(Verse)** I called for you, but you stayed silent, Only the wind whispers unfamiliar names. Sometimes I wish I could dissolve into you, But you no longer know who I am. What a shame that you won’t answer When I say, "Sochi is near, but I won't return there anymore." [Guitar Solo] [Guitar Solo] [Guitar Solo] **(Bridge)** Someone once told me That the past can’t be chased. But I still see reflections, They stare at me from shop windows, Yet I’m not there. A step back, breathe in this air, Where salt mixes with the ashes of hope. [Clean Guitar Riff] I’m like the tide, Crashing against these rocks. Maybe one day I’ll let myself sink. (Goodbye, I’m already far away. Maybe you’ll remember me When the sea washes away the footprints.)
