A heart once whole, now shattered in degrees, Love's fading echoes, like distant reveries. *(Verse 1)* In the twilight of our love, shadows danced so free, Now the echoes of your laughter feel like shards in me. Every whispered promise, a bitter symphony, Fading echoes of us, a fractured unity. *(Chorus)* Fading echoes of us, in the silent night, Love's tender lullaby, taking its last flight. A symphony of heartbreak, a bittersweet sight, Fading echoes of us, lost in endless night. *(Verse 2)* Pictures in the gallery, memories on display, Each frame a story told, in hues of disarray.
