Whisper of a Memory

[instrumental buildup intro] [Verse] Lost in darkness Suffocating with despair Your once vibrant soul Now consumed by a cruel affair Addiction's grip took hold Tore us apart Left me with a shattered heart I tried to rescue you To save you from this fight But addiction's venomous kiss won the night [Chorus] Now you're a shadow in my dreams Fighting battles that are unseen I reach out, but you're beyond my grasp A specter of what was, in a photograph Why couldn't our love be what set you free? Now you're just a whisper of a memory [Verse] The demons danced in your veins In a twisted symphony Leaving me helpless Drowning in a river of agony Each passing day A cruel reminder of what we had Now you're just a ghostly memory Fading Turning mad [Chorus] Now you're a shadow in my dreams Fighting battles that are unseen I reach out, but you're beyond my grasp A specter of what was, in a photograph Why couldn't our love be what set you free? Now you're just a whisper of a memory [Bridge] In the stillness of the night, I hear your voice A haunting melody, without a choice Echoes of laughter, shadows of pain I'm holding onto fragments, trying to sustain [Chorus] Now you're a shadow in my dreams Fighting battles that are unseen I reach out, but you're beyond my grasp A specter of what was, in a photograph Why couldn't our love be what set you free? Now you're just a whisper of a memory [Bridge] In the stillness of the night, I hear your voice A haunting melody, without a choice Echoes of laughter, shadows of pain I'm holding onto fragments, trying to sustain [Verse ] I walk through life with a heavy heart Every step I take, a reminder of our part In a story that ended too soon, my love Where did you go, what are you now thinking of? [Chorus] Now you're a shadow in my dreams Fighting battles that are unseen I reach out, but you're beyond my grasp A specter of what was, in a photograph Why couldn't our love be what set you free? Now you're just a whisper of a memory [Outro] So I'll keep you safe in a corner of my soul A tender memory that I can't control Though you're gone, in my heart you'll forever be A beloved ghost, from a past I can't set free [Verse] I walk through life with a heavy heart Every step I take, a reminder of our part In a story that ended too soon, my love Where did you go, what are you now thinking of? [Chorus] Now you're a shadow in my dreams Fighting battles that are unseen I reach out, but you're beyond my grasp A specter of what was, in a photograph Why couldn't our love be what set you free? Now you're just a whisper of a memory [Outro] So I'll keep you safe in a corner of my soul A tender memory that I can't control Though you're gone, in my heart you'll forever be A beloved ghost, from a past I can't set free
