Lyrics

Verse 1

I stand at the water’s edge tonight,
Moonlight trembling, silver bright.
Your shadow lingers, it cuts me through,
This lake is whispering, “let go of you.”

Every ripple calls my name,
Promising freedom, freedom from pain.
But if I drink, who will I be?
A stranger with no memory.

Chorus

Should I drink from the lake of forgetfulness,
Erase your touch, your sweet caress?
Trade the sorrow for a quiet mind,
Leave the broken heart behind.
If I drink, I’ll start anew,
But I’ll lose the ghost of you.

Verse 2

The past is heavy, it drags me down,
Your voice still echoes, it pulls me around.
A thousand nights, a thousand tears,
Chained to the weight of wasted years.

The water shimmers, it calls me near,
Promising silence, no more fear.
But love once lived, can it be erased?
Or would I mourn what I can’t replace?

Chorus

Should I drink from the lake of forgetfulness,
Erase your touch, your sweet caress?
Trade the sorrow for a quiet mind,
Leave the broken heart behind.
If I drink, I’ll start anew,
But I’ll lose the ghost of you.

Bridge

To forget the pain is to lose the flame,
To forget your smile is to lose your name.
If I become whole, I won’t be the same,
A heart reborn, but never reclaimed.

Final Chorus

So should I drink from the lake of forgetfulness,
Erase your lies, your false promises?
Or should I keep the wound, the scar,
Proof that I once loved who you are?
If I drink, I’ll start anew,
But I’ll lose the ghost of you.

Outro

I stand at the edge, the choice is mine,
Between the past and a brand-new life.
The water waits — I whisper too,
“Am I stronger with, or without you?”
