[Verse]
Sadness drips slow, the soul’s stormy drain
Feeds the roots underground, masked by the pain
It’s a ghost in the chest, whisperin' names
Echoes in the dark, playin' shadow games
Heart cradles loss, soft as a child's breath
Dreams in a cradle rocked quiet by death
The shadow of love, heavy on the spine
Wound left open, still bleedin' in rhyme
[Chorus]
The shadow of love, where the sun don’t glow
A wound that lingers, it’s a seed that won’t grow
Heartbeats hollow, where do they go?
The shadow of love, the shadow we know
[Verse 2]
Tears hit the pavement, a silent parade
Every drop a story, every memory stayed
A wound’s just a story carved deep in the bone
A scar’s just a home for the pain that’s grown
The clock ticks slower when you’re missin’ the hands
Time’s a cruel tyrant, it don’t understand
Love with nowhere to land, a bird with no nest
It circles the sky, can’t lay down to rest
[Chorus]
The shadow of love, where the sun don’t glow
A wound that lingers, it’s a seed that won’t grow
Heartbeats hollow, where do they go?
The shadow of love, the shadow we know
