Lyrics
[Guitar and drum intro]
[Verse 1]
Eighteen summers, hearts naive and bold
We swore forever, a story yet untold
But forever vanished, like a teardrop in the sun
You ripped the pages, our chapter left undone
[Short guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Haunted by a ghost, a girl I used to know
Eighteen's broken promise, a seed that won't let go
Mauritius dreams can't erase the scars you made
This bitter lullaby, for a love that quickly frayed
[Short guitar solo]
[Verse 2]
High school hallways, whispers filled the air
"They're done," they murmured, a truth I couldn't bear
You said goodbye so easily, a flick of your hand
Left me with memories, grains of shifting sand
[Long guitar and drum solo]
[Verse 3]
Years went rolling by, like seasons in their sway
Heard you found an island, paradise far away
Mauritius sunshine, beaches bathed in gold
But behind the postcard, a story left untold
[Short guitar solo]
[Verse 4]
Every night I close my eyes, your laughter fills the dream
But the laughter turns to ice, a haunting, cruel extreme
Maybe someday I'll let go, of the anger and the sting
But for now, I sing this song, the memory it will bring
[Short guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Haunted by a ghost, a girl I used to know
Eighteen's broken promise, a seed that won't let go
Mauritius dreams can't erase the scars you made
This bitter lullaby, for a love that quickly frayed
[Guitar solo]
[Outro]
This song's not for you, to rekindle or ignite
Just a melody of heartbreak, beneath the pale moonlight
One day the dreams will fade, the anger will subside
But tonight, the memory lingers, with nowhere left to hide
Mauritius dreams can't erase the scars you made
This bitter lullaby, for a love that quickly frayed
[Guitar and drum end]
