Shadows of Yesterday

emotional,sad,piano-drivenwithsoftstringundertonesfordepthandmelancholy,slow

[Verse]
The clock ticks loud but the room is still
Shadows creep on the windowsill
Every breath feels heavy
Like stone
In a crowded world
I’m still alone

[Chorus]
Oh
Yesterday held my hand
Now it’s slipping like grains of sand
Every smile
Every word
Fades away
Shadows of yesterday
Here to stay

[Verse 2]
A photo bent at the corner
Torn
Memories unravel
Hearts worn
I hear your laugh in the echoes
Faint
But the silence paints what joy can’t paint

[Prechorus]
I reach for the past
It turns to mist
A cruel goodbye sealed with a twist

[Chorus]
Oh
Yesterday held my hand
Now it’s slipping like grains of sand
Every smile
Every word
Fades away
Shadows of yesterday
Here to stay

[Bridge]
The stars don’t shine
They just blink and cry
The moon’s a witness to a love that died
But if I close my eyes
You’re still near
A fleeting ghost of what was dear
