Ghosts of the past

I saw you standing in the pouring rain,
Same old eyes, but I could see the pain.
You said my name like nothing ever changed,
Like we could still go back to those old days.

You took my hand and looked into my eyes,
Said you still dream of our old paradise.
You told me you had never let me go,
But some things die, and time has made it so.

You keep searching for the love we knew,
For the old me and the old you.
But look around, there’s nothing left to save,
We’re just two shadows of a love that’s gone away.

We’re ghosts of the past,
Chasing a love that couldn’t last.
You see a future where there’s nothing new,
I’m just a memory haunting you.
We’re ghosts of the past,
Two fading shadows from a broken past.
We only live in yesterday,
We’re ghosts of the past, and we’ve lost our way.

You said you felt the fire burning still,
That love like ours could never lose its will.
You said the years had changed the world around,
But deep inside, our love was still alive and sound.

I heard your words, but I could not agree,
The girl you loved is not the woman you see.
You want the life we left so far behind,
But you can’t bring back what’s only in your mind.

You keep searching for the love we knew,
For the old me and the old you.
But look around, there’s nothing left to save,
We’re just two shadows of a love that’s gone away.

Don’t hold me like I’m still the same,
Don’t call me by that old love’s name.
We had our time, we had our chance,
But life moved on while you stayed back.

I won’t deny the love we knew,
Or all the things we made it through.
But memories are all that remain,
You can’t bring back the sun through yesterday’s rain.
