Shadows of Trust

[Intro]
Silent shadows, echoes of my past
Trying to find a light that lasts

[Verse 1]
Broken pieces strewn across the floor
Trust is shattered, can’t ignore anymore
Every time I think I might start to believe
The pain reminds me what I can’t conceive

[Pre-Chorus]
Hard to open, hard to stay
Fear keeps the love at bay
But deep down I wish I could heal
Feel something real

[Chorus]
It’s so hard to love when trust has been denied
Walls around my heart, I try to hide
Can’t let it show, but I’m breaking inside
Fighting to believe, fighting to survive

[Verse 2]
Memories whisper, scars run deep
Promises broken, I can't forget or keep
A guard I wear to protect my soul
Love’s a game I struggle to control

[Pre-Chorus]
Hard to open, hard to stay
Fear keeps the love at bay
But deep down I wish I could heal
Feel something real

[Chorus]
It’s so hard to love when trust has been denied
Walls around my heart, I try to hide
Can’t let it show, but I’m breaking inside
Fighting to believe, fighting to survive

[Bridge]
Maybe someday I’ll let down my guard
Find a way to mend this broken heart
Until then I carry this pain
Hoping that love will come again

[Outro]
Silent shadows, echoes of my past
Trying to find a love that lasts
