[R&B/Soul] The Anniversary

"In the labyrinth of memories, I find myself lost in yesterday, unable to find an exit"

--
The Anniversary

Remember the nights when we were together,
Whispered sweet nothings, thought it was forever.
Now I'm alone, staring at the ceiling,
Lost in the memories, stuck in this feeling.

I keep on dreaming 'bout the way it used to be,
Your touch, your smile, the way you looked at me.
Time's moving on, but I'm still standing here,
Counting the days since you disappeared.

And every year, around this time,
I'm haunted by the love we left behind.
Can't shake the pain, it's so profound,
Memories of you keep coming around.

I see your face in every passing stranger,
The love we had now feels like such a danger.
I try to move on, find a new beginning,
But your shadow lingers, forever winning.

Memories fade but the pain remains,
Caught in the middle of love and disdain.
I wear the scars of our history,
A wound that time won't let me free.

And every year, around this time,
I'm haunted by the love we left behind.
Can't shake the pain, it's so profound,
Memories of you keep coming around.

I thought we'd last, I thought we'd grow,
Now I'm just lost, nowhere to go.
Holding onto the past, it's all I know,
Heartache’s a seed that continues to sow.

So here I am, alone once more,
Counting the tears as they hit the floor.
Heartache’s a song, with a lonely sound,
Playing on my mind, year after year, round and round.
