Falling stars on a paper sky
They're so far yet so nearby
Threads of laughter fade to gray
Friends dissolve like yesterday
Time it whispers cruel and sly
Stealing faces that used to try
Empty chairs and silent calls
Echo loud in hollow halls
Lonelier grows the echo in my chest
Every heartbeat feels the rest
Years like shadows
Cold and stark
Chasing ghosts into the dark
Photographs are whispers too
Smiling still but now untrue
Hands that held me slip away
Another scar from yesterday
I'll light a match to feel the room
But it only deepens the gloom
Love like smoke it slips and dies
Left with nothing but goodbyes
Lonelier grows the echo in my chest
Every heartbeat feels the rest
Years like shadows
Cold and stark
Chasing ghosts into the dark
