Shadows in My Mind

Silent nights and endless thoughts, just shadows in my mind

Echoes of a distant hope, so hard to leave behind

Walking through the empty streets, lost in echoes of my mind

Feeling like a ghost unseen, a shadow left behind

Every smile I try to fake, hides the pain I can't ignore

Lonely in this crowd I am, wishing I was something more

But I keep on giving, even when it hurts inside

Hoping one day someone will see the cracks I hide

Though I feel invisible and lost in my despair

I keep my heart open, though nobody’s there

I'm the guy nobody wants, a silent cry in the night

Searching for a flicker in a world so cold and tight

Lonely but forgiving, trying to stay strong and kind

Hope is just a whisper, but I still hold it in my mind

Maybe someday, the darkness will fade away

And someone will see the heart I give every day

Till then I’ll keep on dreaming, even if it breaks my soul

Holding onto hope, trying to be whole

Silent nights and endless thoughts, just shadows in my mind

Waiting for the dawn to break and leave this pain behind
