Lyrics

[INTRO]
Even after all these years,
Memories linger, bringing back the tears,
Thought I’d let you go, thought I’d moved on,
But here I am, singing this haunting song.

[VERSE 1]
I remember those nights, underneath the stars,
Whispers of love, dreams told from afar,
But then you slipped away like a soft summer breeze,
Left me in silence, brought me to my knees.

[CHORUS]
Why do I still think of you sometimes?
When I close my eyes, I hear your chimes,
And though you broke my heart, you're still on my mind,
A ghost of the past that I can't leave behind.

[VERSE 2]
We were just kids, they said that’s the way,
But their words couldn't chase the hurt away,
You moved on with life, found another path,
I drowned in my sorrow, drank deep from my glass.

[CHORUS]
Why do I still think of you sometimes?
When I close my eyes, I hear your chimes,
And though you broke my heart, you're still on my mind,
A ghost of the past that I can't leave behind.

[BRIDGE]
Do you ever think of our time together?
Were we just fleeting moments, or something forever?
Maybe it was wasted, or maybe it was fate,
But those memories now, I can’t help but celebrate.

[VERSE 3]
I wore my pain like a familiar coat,
With beer and cigarettes, I tried to float,
But deep down I knew, in the corners of my mind,
You shaped who I am, left pieces behind.

[CHORUS]
Why do I still think of you sometimes?
When I close my eyes, I hear your chimes,
And though you broke my heart, you're still on my mind,
A ghost of the past that I can't leave behind.

[OUTRO]
So here’s to us, even lost in the years,
To laughter, to heartache, and unspoken fears,
I still think of you, and maybe it’s okay,
For we were just kids, and that’s how life plays.
