Stark Reminder

Verse 1
Am F C
It hits like a shadow, cold and unkind
G Am
A stark reminder I can't leave behind
F C
Echoes of moments, choices I made
G Am
The ghosts of my past that won’t ever fade

Chorus
F C
Oh, stark reminder, cuts to the bone
G Am
A mirror that shows what I've always known
F C
Reflections of life, the highs and the scars
G Am
Every bruise and every star

Verse 2
Am F C
Each road I’ve traveled, each line on my face
G Am
Tells a story, time can't erase
F C
Love that was lost, chances I missed
G Am
Lingering like a bittersweet kiss

Chorus
F C
Oh, stark reminder, cuts to the bone
G Am
A mirror that shows what I've always known
F C
Reflections of life, the highs and the scars
G Am
Every bruise and every star

Bridge
F G
I can’t hide, it’s clear as day
Am C
The things I lost along the way
F G
But maybe there’s a lesson here
Am C
In facing what I used to fear

Chorus
F C
Oh, stark reminder, cuts to the bone
G Am
A mirror that shows what I've always known
F C
Reflections of life, the highs and the scars
G Am
Every bruise and every star

Outro
F C
So here I stand, eyes open wide
G Am
Facing the truth I can't deny
F C
This stark reminder, painful yet true
G Am
Maybe it’s just what I needed to do
