Faux Memories

Verse 1: In the quiet of my room, where the silence grows, I see faces in the pictures, but nobody knows, The empty spaces in my heart, where laughter should be, The fun memories I've never had, haunting me. Chorus: Oh, the places I’ve never been, the smiles I didn’t see, The laughter in the night, that was never meant for me, Oh, the fun memories I've never had, they're just dreams that fade, In the shadow of the moments, where I wished I'd stayed. Verse 2: I hear the echoes of a life, that wasn’t mine to live, Stories told in sunlight, with all the love to give, I wander through the yesterdays, in search of something real, The fun memories I've never had, a wound that won't heal. Chorus: Oh, the places I’ve never been, the smiles I didn’t see, The laughter in the night, that was never meant for me, Oh, the fun memories I've never had, they're just dreams that fade, In the shadow of the moments, where I wished I'd stayed. **Bridge:** Time moves on, but the void remains, A silent witness to my hidden pains, In the mirror of what could’ve been, I see reflections of a life unseen. **Verse 3:** I watch the seasons change, through a windowpane, The laughter of the children, outside in the rain, Their joy is a reminder, of what I’ve missed, The fun memories I’ve never had, that don't exist. **Chorus:** Oh, the places I’ve never been, the smiles I didn’t see, The laughter in the night, that was never meant for me, Oh, the fun memories I've never had, they're just dreams that fade, In the shadow of the moments, where I wished I'd stayed. Bridge: Time moves on, but the void remains, A silent witness to my hidden pains, In the mirror of what could’ve been, I see reflections of a life unseen. Chorus: Oh, the places I’ve never been, the smiles I didn’t see, The laughter in the night, that was never meant for me, Oh, the fun memories I've never had, they're just dreams that fade, In the shadow of the moments, where I wished I'd stayed. Outro: So I sit in the stillness, with a heart heavy and sad, Thinking of the fun memories I’ve never had, In the darkness of the evening, where dreams start to blur, I find peace in the longing, of the laughter unheard. **Outro:**
