The coffee cup is still there, half full, just as you left it.

A lipstick mark, a red stain on the porcelain.

And I close my eyes, I swear I can smell you,

That scent of sandalwood and the rain that got you wet back then.

It's been three months, and the world keeps turning.

But mine in here stands still, trapped in this light.

I walk through the apartment, looking for a note, a sign,

That explains to me why the music suddenly stopped playing.

Because we had plans, they lay folded on the table.

A shared image, a promise you don't forget.

Now it's just an echo, a whisper in the silence,

And I rewind the scene that broke my heart.

You were my gold in all those dark years,

The anchor when the storm broke my little ship.

But you left, just like that, without explanation,

And left me behind in that cold night.

Every breath is a pain, a quiet melody,

A soul solo just for you, in minor and deep.

Shadows & gold, that's what remained of us.

The pain of love I lost, and yet still love.

Do you remember that autumn day at the lake? The sun broke through.

You said, “Hold on to this moment, it will never come again.”

I laughed, thinking our time was endless, an unwritten book.

I wish I had told you more back then, shown you more.

I see us sitting there, laughing about nothing,

Your hand in mine, that was my only compass, my light.

Now the lake is frozen, and my tears are ice.

I ask the phone that never rings anymore: Was that the price?

Because we had plans, they lay folded on the table.

A shared image, a promise you don't forget.

Now it's just an echo, a whisper in the silence,

And I rewind the scene that broke my heart.

You were my gold in all those dark years,

The anchor when the storm broke my little ship.

But you left, just like that, without explanation,

And left me behind in that cold night.

Every breath is a pain, a quiet melody,

A soul solo just for you, in minor and deep.

Shadows & gold, that's what's left of us.

The pain of love I lost, and still love.

I'm not waiting for a miracle, because miracles take time.

I just need the truth, the three little words you owe me.

Was I not worth it? Or was it something inside you?

I sit here in the semi-darkness, on the longest, coldest day.

I know I have to let go, but how do you unlearn how to breathe?

When the air you needed went with you.

You were my gold in all those dark years,

The anchor when the storm broke my little ship.

But you left, just like that, without explanation,

And left me behind in that cold night.

Every breath is a pain, a quiet melody,

A soul solo just for you, in minor and deep.

Shadows & gold, that's what remained of us.

The pain of love I lost, and still love.

The cup is still there...

Shadows & gold...
