Shadows and Echoes

Silent whispers in the dark, shadows creep

Lost in the echoes, secrets that I keep

Lost in the shadows, fading away

Echoes of love that couldn't stay

There's no hope, no cure for this broken heart

I'm sinking deep, tearing all apart

Nothing left, all my hope is gone

Despair consumes me, it lingers on

My heart aches for a love I never had

A dream so fragile, a love so sad

A better man would have walked away

But I lost myself, forgot the way

I can't stay, I can't go

Trapped in this pain, I wish I didn't know

The one thing I want, just out of reach

Love's cruel lesson, my soul can't preach

Screaming your name to the heavens high

Hoping for a sign, a reason why

Dark angel, take my soul tonight

No wishing on stars, just endless night

Soon I'll fade, a shadow of love lost

This lie I live is the final cost

Fading shadows, whispers fade

Love's ghost lingering in the shade
