[Verse]
Empty streets and bag of dreams
All the words I never screamed
Echoes lost in twilight scenes
Shadows dance on silent streams

[Verse 2]
Falling leaves and autumn's grief
Time's a thief no hope's relief
Broken bridges cold beneath
The weight of lies and disbelief

[Chorus]
Why can't we be friends
The story never ends
Why can't we pretend
Together we could mend

[Verse 3]
Lonesome nights and distant stars
We keep hiding all our scars
Chasing peace in smoky bars
Healing's a memory too far

[Verse 4]
Isolation's bitter song
Struggling just to sing along
All the rights turned into wrong
Hearts forgotten where they belong

[Chorus]
Why can't we be friends
The story never ends
Why can't we pretend
Together we could mend
