Remain (demo)

In your embrace, I'd stand alone
Wrapped in memories, the ones we'd grown
But fate dealt a blow, it tore us apart
Leaving empty, this fractured heart of mine
And the echoes of your laughter, they haunt my dreams
And every passing moment, your silent screams call me
From the void you left behind, and it cuts me deep within
It's a reminder of what we should've been

But now the days go by like the river flowed
When the night fell colder, and you didn't show
I just kept holding on, praying for a sign
I'll think of you, a love once mine

But now I'm on the road, calling your best friends, hoping you made it home okay
And through the distance, I reach out to you and try to ease my pain
The love we intertwined In the silence of the night, I whisper your name
'Cause I hope that your memories might remain

And through the misty haze of the moonlit night
I search for remnants of our love, it was divine
But the road that we once traveled on now leads me astray
And I'm lost in our memories, longing for yesterday

And it all went by like the river flows
When the nights fall colder, your shadows still grow
And I'll keep holding on, praying for a sign
Now I'll always know you couldn't be mine

But now I'm on the road, calling your best friends, hoping you made it home okay
And through the distance, I reach out to you and try to ease my pain
The love we intertwined In the silence of the night, I whisper your name
'Cause I hope that your memories might remain

And all I know is that the river dried and I'm alone
Now all I know is that your friends are tired of me calling a hundred times but they don't know
What it was like on that road to be by your side
It'll never be right, but I'll be fine

Now I'm off the road, all of their phones are dead and we're lying here alone
I reach out and I'm hoping for someone to come and finally take us home
The love we intertwined It's nothing without us both, don't you know
I always hoped that the memories might remain
