Endless Hallway

(Intro) Faded photograph, tucked in a worn leather frame Your smile, a captured memory, whispering your name Years have spun by like dust devils, swirling in the heat But this love for you, my darling, burns a constant, aching feat (Verse 1) Empty chair across the table, a single setting laid Haunted by the dreams we dreamt, promises we never made I hear your laughter in the rain, see your face in every crowd The ache in my chest a constant, a love forever unbowed (Chorus) An endless hallway, chasing after your ghost Every corner echoes, a love I've loved the most But forever just out of reach, a touch I can't obtain This unfulfilled forever, a love that drives me insane (Bridge 1) Friends whisper I should move on, find solace in a new embrace But every love feels hollow, a poor imitation of your grace They say time heals all wounds, but time stands still in this hall A captive to a memory, a love that's meant to fall (Verse 2) Late night whispers in the dark, I call out your name in vain Hoping for a phantom echo, to ease this relentless pain Is this a twisted kind of purgatory, a self-inflicted hell? Forever chasing shadows, in a love that won't dispel A captive to a memory, a love that's meant to fall (Verse 2) Late night whispers in the dark, I call out your name in vain Hoping for a phantom echo, to ease this relentless pain Is this a twisted kind of purgatory, a self-inflicted hell? Forever chasing shadows, in a love that won't dispel (Verse 3) Maybe you were never real, a figment of a yearning heart A dream too beautiful to hold, destined to tear me apart But even if it's all a lie, a cruel twist of fate's design This unfulfilled love, my darling, will forever be mine (Chorus) An endless hallway, chasing after your ghost Every corner echoes, a love I've loved the most But forever just out of reach, a touch I can't obtain This unfulfilled forever, a love that drives me insane (Bridge 2) Some nights I see a glimmer of light, at the hallway's distant bend Is it hope, or just another trick, that will shatter in the end? But even in the crushing dark, a fragile ember burns within This love, a flickering flame, that refuses to give in (Chorus) An endless hallway, chasing after your ghost Every corner echoes, a love I've loved the most But forever just out of reach, a touch I can't obtain This unfulfilled forever, a love that drives me insane This unfulfilled love, my darling, will forever be mine (Chorus) An endless hallway, chasing after your ghost Every corner echoes, a love I've loved the most But forever just out of reach, a touch I can't obtain This unfulfilled forever, a love that drives me insane (Bridge 2) Some nights I see a glimmer of light, at the hallway's distant bend Is it hope, or just another trick, that will shatter in the end? But even in the crushing dark, a fragile ember burns within This love, a flickering flame, that refuses to give in (Chorus) An endless hallway, chasing after your ghost Every corner echoes, a love I've loved the most But forever just out of reach, a touch I can't obtain This unfulfilled forever, a love that drives me insane (Outro) Maybe someday the hallway ends, and I'll find you waiting there But until then, my love, my ghost, this burden I will bear This endless, unfulfilled love, a bittersweet refrain A love that drives me insane, but a love that will remain
