echoes of fading memories

wrote this after reading a book once. 4got what it's called

Verse 1

For you it's three, for me it's six

Not that that matters, if you really knew me I wouldn't be your first pick

I'm sure now you are in one of those better cliques

Not just time can separate us, I know that now

But you were either really great or a good actor, so take a bow

Chorus

It broke my heart but it's true,

I think about you daily, I wonder if maybe you do too.

You were just a screen

I wonder if I knew you or the person you seemed?

Verse 2

They said we weren't really friends,

Just strangers falling for a dark game of pretend.

I walked away, I left you,

and everything, behind,

Then you quit too

Now i know, the future's blind.

insert Chorus

Bridge

The silence echoes, screaming your name.

Did it ever matter, or are we stupid, and it was all a game?

I'm here wondering, is it you or I to blame?

I hear your favorite songs, the jokes we shared,

little references, I wonder if you cared.

I know there won't be a miracle, not a twist of fate,

To bump into you, because I know it's too late.

insert Chorus

Outro

Now it's all empty, the laughter's gone,

I'm here alone, you've probably moved on.

I should too, but you'll always stay,

As the friend I lost, yet think of every day

Ex-Friends Until the End

ignore the fact this song title (and the whole thing basically) is a reference (iykyk)

just based upon a story i thought up

nothing personal

Verse 1

Found you in melodies and notes

It felt so real, so sincere, i thought we'd always be close,

but now I want to forget the words left unsaid

The pain grows

As the silence follows

I miss you, i'm sorry, old friend

Chorus

I tell myself you didn't go

That you are still there

i wish i didn't care

Now i just go solo

Ex friends until the end

Verse 2

It was halloween i was torn apart

And then it was over

Every day that passed felt like a new scar

Did I do something wrong

Am I to blame?

Or did you just want to stop responding

Things have changed

Insert Chorus

Bridge

I guess you're happier now,

I'm sure with someone better you found

The silence grows

The shadows scream louder

I lose my way

The darkness creeps in,

Doubts stuck in my mind

Was it all just a lie

or did I leave you behind?

I want to go back to that day

Where we met

We said forever

Where it was all ok

When i thought it wouldn't change

I don't think i've realized yet

Outro

the silence

whispers your name

It's hard to bear the pain

But this is where it concludes

I'll try to move on from the person i once knew

Left in the dark, alone, just me and the pain of goodbye

wishing you cared, in this great big lie

The Girl You Used to Know

yeah another one of these... book hit too hard XD

Verse 1

Even if you care
I'm gonna have to call it quits,
I can't fall in the same hole,
Make the same mistake again.
I needed change, or I might not even be here.
Even if I could choose, I'm not going back,
I'd rather be gone than go through another second of that

Chorus

I'm happy to have known you,
You are great,
But I've moved on
I've enjoyed something new
Writing in my room,
It Beats chatting way too late.

Verse 2

In the dark
when I'm alone
time stands still,
I remember talking on my free will
Tears used to fall like rain,
But I've stopped holding on to you
you surrounding my surroundings
tonight.

Bridge

just maybe
This will be recorded On the radio,
And you'll remember me,
The girl you used to know
Ex friends until the end,
I'll turn up again
Even if it's a million miles away
Even if it's just in your head
Even if it's all fake
I'm sorry,
Old friend

insert chorus

Outro

So here's to the memories,
the paths we didn't take,
All the moments,
My blood,
My sweat,
My tears,
You'll never be a mistake
The shadows of us will always follow
As I write these words
the melodies that linger,
On quiet nights
Once together
Now we're apart
Our words can't be replaced
You're a chapter in my book,
A part of a story
That won't be forgotten
That will last until the end
That can't be replaced.
