Shreds of Love
Somehow I’ve lost my way
Wake up and find it’s a new day
And I don’t know where I’m going
Memories fill my mind
And I’ve lost track of the time
Where I’ll end up, there’s no knowing.
Years go by, seems we drift apart
All our dreams have turned to dust.
Can we go back in time, or make a new beginning
Is there hope or have we lost?
Lives divided, desires collided,
All our passion faded with the wind.
Is everything we had lost and gone forever
Or can we find it once again?
We started out so strong,
Thought it would last for so long,
Now I’m desperate and frightened.
I dreamed we’d last forever,
Facing the years together,
I see the end now, deadly silence.
The heart that used to sing, each time you came to me
Now weeps in endless agony.
Pain within my soul, feeling I’ve lost control,
Can’t find a place for me to breathe.
Holding onto the past, can’t seem to make it last,
Darkness closes in and leaves me blind.
The sky dawns dark and gray, I mourn the loss each day,
The tattered shreds of love we’ve left behind.
