(Verse 1) Cigarettes in the dark, a match in my hand A fading Polaroid of a promised land I walk the streets where the echoes reside Chasing a shadow, running out of time (Pre-Chorus) The wind hums softly, a lover’s lament Telling me stories of a love that’s spent I’m a silhouette on a broken screen Caught in the space between lost and seen (Chorus) I’m falling slow, like petals in rain Drowning in dreams, tangled in pain Even in the darkness, I’m drawn to the flame Whispering softly, “You’re not the same” (Verse 2) Velvet skies and motel rooms Perfume lingers, smoke fills the gloom A cracked mirror shows a face I once knew But the girl in the glass feels far from the truth (Pre-Chorus) The moonlight drips, a silvery thread Weaving a tale of words unsaid I’m a melody, aching and bruised A haunting refrain I can’t refuse (Chorus) I’m falling slow, like petals in rain Drowning in dreams, tangled in pain Even in the darkness, I’m drawn to the flame Whispering softly, “You’re not the same” (Bridge) Golden highways that lead nowhere A Cadillac ride, perfume in the air The past is a lover I can’t let go But maybe the ashes will help me grow (Chorus) I’m falling slow, like petals in rain Drowning in dreams, tangled in pain Even in the darkness, I’m drawn to the flame Whispering softly, “You’re not the same” (Outro) The dawn creeps in with a tender glow The streets I’ve walked finally let me go No longer lost, I’ve found my grace In the ruins of time, I’ve claimed my space
