Seen Serenade

Evenings in this once-loved jazz café
Now I watch her walk away day after day
She knows the truth that I confessed
But her heart's with someone else, I guess

Swaying no more in the dream we shared
She's seen my love, but no longer cares
Secret hopes have shattered apart
Left me alone with a broken heart

Replaced my hopes with distant dreams
The love I had, now torn at the seams
A love I showed, but she couldn't stay
Now all that's left is an empty day
All I have now is a fading sound
Echoes of her laughter still around
She knows my love, but it's not enough
She moved on, while I'm stuck in the rough

I see her smile, but it's not for me
An open wound for the world to see
I played my heart, but she won't dance
Our song is over, no second chance

Swaying no more in the dream we shared
She's seen my love, but no longer cares
Secret hopes have shattered apart
Left me alone with a broken heart

Each note now heavy with what's unsaid
A serenade for love that's already dead
She turned the page, while I remain
Strumming along to this endless pain
Each note now heavy with what's unsaid
A serenade for love that's already dead
She turned the page, while I remain
Strumming along to this endless pain

Swaying no more in the dream we shared
She's seen my love, but no longer cares
Secret hopes have shattered apart
Left me alone with a broken heart

The lights dim down, the music fades
In this café where memories were made
She's seen my love, and walked away
But still, for her, I'll always play
