Borrowed Light

"Borrowed Light"

The echoes still linger in these empty halls
Your laughter's like whispers behind these walls
I reach for the past, but it slips like the tide
Somewhere between letting go and holding tight

The seasons keep turning, they don’t wait for me
But I swear I still hear you in the autumn leaves

Oh, the world keeps spinning, but I stand still
Trying to find my way through the wreckage
Even in the silence, your shadow remains
A familiar ghost in the pouring rain

The streetlights still flicker like they always did
But nothing feels real in this life I live
I trace every memory like lines on my skin
Each scar tells a story of where I’ve been

The stars keep on burning, though you’re out of sight
But maybe their shimmer is borrowed light

Oh, the world keeps spinning, but I stand still
Trying to find my way through the wreckage
Even in the silence, your shadow remains
A familiar ghost in the pouring rain

I know I can’t stay in this in-between
Where the past and the future are torn at the seams
But if I walk on, will you walk with me?

Oh, the world keeps spinning, and I will too
Finding new rhythms, though missing you
Even in the silence, your love still remains
A familiar ghost, but it’s not in vain

So I’ll carry your light where the dark used to be
And maybe, just maybe, it carries me
