[Verse]
Once I was the talk of the town,
Had the best seat in the crown,
Now I'm just a name they forget,
In a game of life's roulette.
[Verse 2]
We danced under limelight’s glow,
Where to we were stars, we'd go,
But seasons change with no cue,
Silent nights are nothing new.
[Chorus]
Oh, the rise and the fall,
Echoes in the empty hall,
Fortune's gift, then gone away,
Leaving just shadows of yesterday.
[Verse 3]
Once the toast at every ball,
Now a ghost among them all,
Fame is fickle, it’s a tease,
Leaves you begging on your knees.
[Verse 4]
Memories in gilded frames,
Lovers gone but not their names,
Whispers fade, dreams take flight,
In the ache of endless night.
[Bridge]
Life’s a song, a fleeting dance,
Mercy wanders, lacks romance,
Promises in twilight’s hue,
All too often prove untrue.
