Chasing Shadows: A Melodic Quest for Lost Love
Lyrics
I wonder where you are these days
I am curious about your current whereabouts
I wonder if you see my face
I am uncertain if you are aware of my presence
The curtain's drawn on that empty stage
The chapter of our relationship seems closed, but I still think about it
But I still wonder where you are these days
Despite the closure, I continue to ponder where you might be now
Because I memorized your every mood
I have committed to memory your various emotional states
And I kissed them like a lover
I embraced those emotions passionately, akin to a lover
Every isotope of you
Every aspect of your essence, I hold dear and remember
I memorized your every mood
I have memorized your entire range of emotions
And I would have forgiven
I was willing to forgive
And I would have forgotten
I was ready to let go of the past
I tried, but I can't fake it anymore
However, I cannot pretend any longer
Can't keep that chain up on my door any longer
I can't maintain the barrier that kept me from you
There's only sunlight where you used to be
Where you once existed, there is only brightness now
With the shape and the face of another
Someone else now occupies the space with a different appearance
I built a stone from these altars
I have constructed a monument from the remnants of our past
But there's sunlight where you used to be
Yet, in the place you used to be, there is sunlight
And I would have forgiven
I was prepared to forgive
And I would have forgotten
I was ready to forget
I tried, but I can't fake it anymore
Nevertheless, I can no longer pretend
Can't keep that chain up on my door any longer
I can't uphold the protective barrier any longer
Keep that chain up on my door any longer
I can't maintain that separation any longer
Keep that chain up on my door any longer
I can't sustain that distance any longer
