Lyric

A picture frame sits on the window sill

That live house night, we're all smiling still

Five years ago... it feels like a dream

Now the doors are closed, and the lights lost their gleam

The band fell apart, and everyone's gone

But I'm here alone, trying to carry on

Still chasing the ghost of the song

But I'm breaking down, I'm falling apart

I gave everything, I gave my whole heart

Was effort not enough to open the door?

What did I miss? What was I looking for?

Why? Tell me why! Tell me why did it end?

We worked harder than anyone, my friend

Talent? No, I guess I never had it at all

Is that why I’m waiting for the curtain to fall?

I tried to convince myself it’s okay

But the regret won't go away, it won't go away

I thought if I pushed, if I just stayed the course

I’d finally reach that hidden source

With all of the feelings I poured in my song

But reality’s cold, and the winter is long

Nobody found me, nobody heard

I’m still holding the mic, clinging to every word

If only this reached just one soul in the crowd

I’d feel like my silence was finally loud

Tell me, was that light just a dream in a cloud?

A tiny studio with cheap, dusty lights

We were covered in sweat through the long summer nights

Working part-time jobs just to buy some new gear

Writing lyrics ‘til dawn, washing away the fear

We breathed life into notes, just a little, it’s true

And someone out there said, "I love what you do"

It felt like our dreams were finally taking flight

Those days were so golden, so pure and so bright

Was that applause just a trick of the mind?

Did our tears leave no traces for anyone to find?

But I can't forget, no, I know it was real

The spark that we had, the way it made us feel

We were shining right there, it was part of the deal

I was wrong—everyone’s fighting the same

Nobody’s lazy, nobody’s just playing a game

Everyone’s dreaming, everyone’s giving their all

We’re all just musicians, waiting for the call

I want to say "Congrats" and "I wish you the best"

I want to cheer you on through every trial and test

Even if a "nobody" like me doesn't ring true

I want to say, "I’m not giving up too"

On nights when I thought I was losing my mind

The voices from back then were all I could find

"Keep going," they whispered, so soft and so kind

I’m still standing here, I won't be left behind

Even if nobody’s watching me now

Even if no one hears, I’ll make my vow

Even if there’s no applause in the air

This voice won't go silent, this fire’s still there

The feelings I have, they’re still here to share

The sound hasn't faded, the music’s alive

Even if the world turns away, I’ll survive

Because the dream from those days is still here in my chest

I’ll fall and I’ll bleed, but I won't take a rest

I want to believe there’s a song that will reach

Just one person out there, a lesson to teach

I’ll keep on singing, for everyone, for me

Until the day I’m finally free

Even a small voice, carried on the breeze

I’ll sing again tomorrow... with the greatest of ease
