Shifting Sand

Verse 1

Morning light creeps along the hardwood floor

Empty bed where we used to lie

Every word comes heavier than before

Silence grows each time we try

Chorus

We started building something strong

But now I feel it's slipping through my hands

Try to hold on but I know I'm wrong

Love's unraveling like shifting sand

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Letting go, losing hold

Oh oh oh

Can't rewind, stories told

Verse 2

Quiet words left on the table

Promises we spoke in the night

We tried to keep it stable

But both of us are losing the fight

Pre-Chorus

I see it in your eyes each morning

Distance growing, bitterness forming

Chorus

We started building something strong

But now I feel it's slipping through my hands

Try to hold on but I know I'm wrong

Love's unraveling like shifting sand

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Letting go, losing hold

Bridge

Long drives down familiar roads

Radio playing songs from better days

I keep searching for a way to let you go

But memories refuse to fade

Verse 3

Broken clock on the mantle ticks slow

Pictures of us gathering dust

Saying goodbye feels impossible

But staying means losing what we trust

Chorus

We started building something strong

But now I feel it's slipping through my hands

Try to hold on but I know I'm wrong

Love's unraveling like shifting sand

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Letting go, losing hold

Oh oh oh

Can't rewind, stories told

Outro

Shadow falls across our little place

I hear your footsteps fading down the hall

Lessons learned linger in the space

Nothing left to soften the fall

Hands once linked now hesitate

Footprints vanish in the rain

All that's left is to walk away

No words that can explain

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Letting go, losing hold

Oh oh oh

Silent roads, hearts grown cold
