Faded photographs and memories
Of two kids who thought they'd never part
Time's relentless march has brought us here
To separate lives, with separate hearts
I'm happy for you, but I still recall
Those moments we shared, now beyond our reach
We can't go back to yesterday
Those ghosts of youth have had their day
I hope you're happy where you are
While I'm here, wishing on a distant star
I see your smile in someone new
A life you've built, a love that's true
My heart aches, but I understand
We were just a chapter, not the whole story's plan
I'm happy for you, but I still recall
Those moments we shared, now beyond our reach
We can't go back to yesterday
Those ghosts of youth have had their day
I hope you're happy where you are
While I'm here, wishing on a distant star
In my dreams, we're still so young
Invincible, wild, and free
But morning comes, and I let you go
Acceptance is the hardest seed to sow
We can't go back to yesterday
Those ghosts of youth have had their day
I hope you're happy where you are
While I'm here, wishing on a distant star
The ghosts of our youth will always be
A bittersweet part of me
