Broken Horizon

In the shadows of the night, I hear your laughter, But it lingers in my mind, just a distant echo after. Tried to leave your ghost behind, but it keeps pulling me near, Like a storm that never ends, it drowns me in my fear. And I know I should let go, But your face won't disappear. The memories softly whisper, "It was love that brought you here." But I won't cry no tears, Not for you, not for me. Let the pain tear me apart, It's the only way to feel free. Longing carries my soul, Like a song in minor keys. And the emptiness you left behind Fills my heart with heavy seas. Every step through the streets feels heavier now, So many faces, but I feel so lost somehow. Your voice lingers on like a ghost in my head, Screaming words I can't let go, though I wish they'd fade instead. And I know I need to find myself, But these shadows won't let go. I'm drowning in the waves of yesterday, Adrift in the undertow. But I won't cry no tears, Not for you, not for me. Let the pain tear me apart, It's the only way to feel free. Longing carries my soul, Like a song in minor keys. And the emptiness you left behind Fills my heart with heavy seas. Oh, I search for meaning in the dark of night, Every fading star becomes my lonely fight. All these battles in my chest scream for the light, But my heart stays trapped, it can't take flight. But I won't cry no tears, Not for you, not for me. Let the pain tear me apart, It's the only way to feel free. Longing carries my soul, Like a song in minor keys. And the emptiness you left behind Fills my heart with heavy seas. And so I stand here waiting, Between shadow and sun. Every longing that fades away Leaves its weight when it's done. But maybe, someday, I'll find peace within my pain, Until then, melancholy Will stay my only refrain.
