Fading alone

Verse 1 Alone, I am walking down the lane, Hiding in the shadows of my pain. Stepping forward down the quiet street, Humming a love’s lost, fading beat. My steps are faltering with every rise, Like a sharp sword slicing paper skies. Once more, I find myself completely alone, Walking down a street I've always known. Verse 2 Walking by, I come across a house, Where lived a girl, quiet as a mouse. A gentle soul whom I once thought was mine, Who I wanted to soar with, past the line— To fly together high in our own mundane sky, Far from a world where fragile things must die. Where memories don't fade with every passing mile, And tears don't have to hide behind a smile. But the wind blows cold, and the illusions break, Leaving me walking alone with this high ache. Chorus Regretting the moment when time slipped by, When my words couldn't reach my firefly— Lost forever in the deepest dark, Leaving behind a cold, extinguished spark. Now I am walking down the lane, Without a single companion to name, Mourning and mesmerized by the cost, Of the beautiful, insane moments we lost. Outro Crying in your absence in the silent rain, For a love that could never truly begin. Like a star dying slowly in an eternal realm, With waves of shadow rushing to overwhelm. I am walking with your ghost down the lane, Hiding in the quiet shadows of my pain. Walking down the street, entirely on my own... Alone.
