[Verse]
In the quiet room I sit and gaze
The past escaping in a smoky haze
Faces fading like ghosts in the night
Grasping shadows with all my might
[Verse 2]
Whispers of laughter now faint and thin
Echoes of stories where love had been
Memories flitting like autumn leaves
Holding tight but they keep slipping free
[Chorus]
Don't leave me now in this empty shell
I'm hanging on to what words can't tell
Every fragment a piece of my soul
In this battle I will take my stand
[Verse 3]
Photographs yellow with each passing year
Turning pages with a touch of fear
Will I remember the sound of rain
Or the way we laughed through all the pain
[Verse 4]
Silent movies play inside my head
Each frame a synapse that's hanging by a thread
Capturing moments before they fade
I feel them tear in the grand charade
[Chorus]
Don't leave me now in this empty shell
I'm hanging on to what words can't tell
Every fragment a piece of my soul
In this battle I will take my stand
[Chorus]
Don't leave me now in this empty shell
I'm hanging on to what words can't tell
Every fragment a piece of my soul
In this battle I will take my stand
