faded memories

You’re the midnight storm that passed without a sound Thought I’d shatter, lose myself, never to be found But here I stand, with a heart that’s on the mend You may haunt the past, but this is where it ends You’re chasing thrills with someone else’s heartbeat I’m not broken just free from the defeat You’ll watch from afar, in shadows and screens But I’ve learned to wake from faded dreams While you’re out chasing stars in your late night cars I’m here, breathing deep, healing every scar And when the rain falls, I’m dancing alone No need for ghosts, no need to atone You’ll find my face in a crowded room Think you’ve caught me, but it’s gone too soon This chapter’s closed; I’m done with your game You’re just a spark without a flame I was your safe bet, you thought I’d never leave But the silence speaks, and I can finally breathe No more waiting up, no more second guess Your touch is a ghost, nothing more, nothing less You’re chasing visions in another pair of eyes While I’m here, letting all the memories die No need to dig up the bones of the past I’m not your fallback I’m free at last While you’re out chasing stars in your late night cars I’m here, breathing deep, healing every scar And when the rain falls, I’m dancing alone No need for ghosts, no need to atone You’ll find my face in a crowded room Think you’ve caught me, but it’s gone too soon This chapter’s closed; I’m done with your game You’re just a spark without a flame You’ll call my name in the dead of night Hoping to find that spark, that light But I’m a shadow you can’t hold A story that’s left, never retold So go ahead, chase your fleeting highs While I breathe in dawn’s first skies I’ve burned the pages, there’s no going back This heart’s unchained, no longer cracked You’re just a lesson, a ghost of my pain And I’m the sunrise after the rain
