Shadow Of You

Verse 1:

I walk these streets in the dark,

Where your laughter lingers like a spark.

Every shadow holds your face,

Every corner, your empty space.

Pre-Chorus:

I reach, but you’re too far,

A ghost I chase beneath the stars.

I hold my love, silent and true,

All I am is a shadow of you.

Chorus:

And I’ll stay here, unseen, unheard,

Guarding your heart with every word.

Though you’re gone, I’ll never let go,

I’m the shadow you’ll never know.

Verse 2:

I hear his voice where you should be,

I see his hand where mine longs to be.

Every smile you give, I can’t touch,

Every glance a bittersweet crush.

Pre-Chorus:

I try to speak, but words betray,

So I’ll just watch from far away.

Silent vows I’ll never undo,

I live in the shadow of you.

Chorus:

And I’ll stay here, unseen, unheard,

Guarding your heart with every word.

Though you’re gone, I’ll never let go,

I’m the shadow you’ll never know.

Bridge:

One day you’ll see what’s been here all along,

A quiet heart that’s been steady and strong.

Until then I’ll fade, I’ll sigh, I’ll swoon,

Strumming these chords under a lonely moon.

Chorus/Outro:

And I’ll stay here, unseen, unheard,

Guarding your heart with every word.

Though you’re gone, I’ll never let go,

I’m the shadow… the shadow of you.
