Fading Echoes

[Beginning, with a sense of lingering sadness and reflection] The silence in this room screams your absent name, A ghost of laughter flickers like a dying flame. I trace the lines you etched upon my weary soul, Fading echoes where you once made me whole. [Verse 1, the rhythm picks up with a touch of yearning] We built our world on promises whispered low, A fragile fortress where our wild emotions could flow. But time, a thief, has stolen pieces day by day, Leaving me with memories that slowly slip away. [Chorus, with a strong, resonant emotion and a touch of defiance] Fading echoes of a love that burned so bright, Haunt the lonely corners of this endless night. I clutch at fragments, try to make the feeling stay, But the vibrant colors slowly turn to gray. [Verse 2, with a hint of bitterness and resignation] New seasons turn, and other faces come and go, They offer solace, try to help my spirit grow. But in the quiet moments, when the world's asleep, Your fading echoes secrets in my heart still keep. [Chorus, with increasing intensity and a sense of loss] Fading echoes of a love that burned so bright, Haunt the lonely corners of this endless night. I clutch at fragments, try to make the feeling stay, But the vibrant colors slowly turn to gray. [Bridge, with a powerful surge of emotion and a plea to the past] Will your memory eventually cease to call? Will the last faint whisper finally fall? I fight the fading, try to hold on to the past, Before the final echo fades away too fast. [Chorus, with a final, heartbreaking release] Fading echoes... of a love I can't reclaim, Lost in the shadows, a forgotten name. I listen closely, but the silence cuts so deep, And the fading echoes finally fall asleep. [Outro, soft and melancholic] Fading echoes... gone...
