I remember when we used to dream
Building castles by the stream
You and me, we had it all mapped out
But somehow, somehow, it all fell down
Now I'm out here on these empty nights
Sparkling faces in the neon lights
Just a game I play, but it's wearing thin
Cause nobody's here, and nobody wins
I'm tired of chasing strangers, tired of pretend
Tired of late night small talk that leads to dead ends
I give up all the rest, yeah, just to go back
To the place where I lost you, to what we once had
Now I'm searching for love, in a world that's too cold
But I just want a family, someone to hold
Every laugh feels hollow, every kiss feels wrong
Like I'm playing your part in somebody else's song
And they tell me move on, but they don't understand
How I'm mapped out forever, right there in your hands
Friends say it's out there, you just have to try
But I'm tired of questions and empty goodbyes
Guess I'm looking for you in all of their eyes
And the more that I look, the more hope just dies
I'm tired of chasing strangers, tired of pretend
Tired of late night small talk that leads to dead ends
I give up all the rest, yeah, just to go back
To the place where I lost you, to what we once had
Now I'm searching for love, in a world that's too cold
But I just want a family, someone to hold
We had dreams, we had plans, a future so clear
Little voices and footsteps, a life year by year
But it's hard to rebuild when your heart's in the past
And the weight of those memories, they never quite pass
I'm tired of chasing strangers, tired of pretend
Tired of late night small talk that leads to dead ends
I give up all the rest, yeah, just to go back
To the place where I lost you, to what we once had
Now I'm searching for love, in a world that's too cold
But I just want a family, someone to hold
So I'll wait here in silence, just me and these dreams
Of a life that we lost, torn apart at the seams
If there's no way back, and you're truly gone
I'll take my memory, and try to move on
