[Verse]
I thought we had forever but forever slipped away
You packed up all your whispers took the sunrise from my day
Now I'm left here with the echoes of words we used to say
In this house of shattered dreams where love has lost its way

[Verse 2]
Your laughter in the hallway now a distant old refrain
The melody of yesteryears caught in the falling rain
Silent nights are louder now without your soft embrace
Lost in every photograph your smile I can't replace

[Chorus]
Gone like a whisper fading in the breeze
You left me holding pieces of this shattered symphony
Every heartbeat's aching reaching for your touch
Why’d you leave me waiting when forever was too much

[Verse 3]
The promises we painted on the canvas of our youth
Have faded into shadows like an old forgotten truth
The scent of you still lingers where your memory won’t part
A bittersweet reminder of the ache within my heart

[Bridge]
Stars still shine but they don't glow the way they used to
Moonlight’s pale companion now only brings the blues
I'd trade a thousand tomorrows just to have one yesterday
When forever wasn't just a word that you would go betray

[Chorus]
Gone like a whisper fading in the breeze
You left me holding pieces of this shattered symphony
Every heartbeat's aching reaching for your touch
Why’d you leave me waiting when forever was too much
