Lost Desire

Verse

Oh,

We are two battered hearts, I know,

Stuck in our own flow of doubt and woe.

Oh, baby... I'm so sorry... When did this occur?

I never saw the real you (Oh, it hurts, I swear).

That mask of a lover it finally fell,

Revealing a core that casts a cold spell.

Why is it so empty and cold inside?

Was it an act? Just a passing tide? I'm so sorry...

Oh, darling, if you only knew,

The kind of pain I'm going through.

Chorus

(Emotional, soaring female vocals)

And now I stand on the ruins of what was bright —

Where our vibrant spring gave way to endless night.

I just need to know, who exactly are you now?

And where did my peaceful silence disappear somehow?

'Cause we were a fierce, burning fire,

Now we're just ashes of a lost desire...

Two scattered souls who were never complete.

Verse

You hide your gaze like a child who has sinned,

Your every word is a stranger's wind.

Tell me, when did the shifting begin?

When did you choose your own world to win?

Protecting yourself, as if it was a game,

Where the trophy was my loyalty and flame.

Bridge

(Dramatic shift, cello becomes prominent)

Sometimes I feel like I was just a dream —

Your beautiful mistake, a momentary gleam.

I gave you my last, silent bow,

But you left me all alone here right now.

I'm screaming in my own void of despair —

You only hear the echo, not me there!

Outro

Oh... darling...

You would know...

The kind of pain...

(Music fades slowly with solo piano)
