Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro:]
[Soft, melancholic piano melody, gradually building with gentle guitar riffs.]
[Verse 1:]
He was the light in a dark room, the beat of every drum,
The life and soul of every party, made better by his hum,
He could lift you when you’re falling, make you feel alive,
But in his eyes, a hidden pain, he couldn’t quite survive.
[Pre-Chorus:]
And now the radio plays his favorite song,
We’re left here wondering, where did it go wrong?
[Chorus:]
How did we not see the shadows in his smile?
He made the world a brighter place, if only for a while,
Tonight, we gather, hearts heavy with the cost,
Remembering the light we lost.
[Instrumental Break:]
[Echoing guitar solo with a haunting melody, setting a reflective mood.]
[Verse 2:]
We walk the paths he wandered, see the places he once knew,
Every corner tells his story, every face a shade of blue,
He gave his all to everyone, but couldn’t find his own,
A heart so full of kindness, yet felt so alone.
[Pre-Chorus:]
And now the radio plays his favorite song,
We’re left here wondering, where did it go wrong?
[Chorus:]
How did we not see the shadows in his smile?
He made the world a brighter place, if only for a while,
Tonight, we gather, hearts heavy with the cost,
Remembering the light we lost.
[Instrumental Break:]
[Soaring guitar solo with a sense of longing, leading into the bridge.]
[Bridge:Continued]
Underneath the starlight, we whisper his name,
Searching for answers, in a never-ending game,
In the silence, in the night, we hear his laughter’s refrain,
In the quiet of our hearts, we feel the endless pain.
[Chorus:]
How did we not see the shadows in his smile?
He made the world a brighter place, if only for a while,
Tonight, we gather, hearts heavy with the cost,
Remembering the light we lost.
[Instrumental Outro:]
[Gradual fade with layered guitars and a steady drumbeat, capturing the lingering emotions and the endless journey.]
