Shadows of Love

[Intro]
Oh, I stare from afar, feeling like I’m falling apart
Wishing I could tell you how I really feel
But I hide it deep inside, caught in this lonely ride
Searching for a way just to feel real

[Verse 1]
You're out there in the world, shining like a star
Every hand that touches you, leaves a scar
I’m just trying to hold on, trying to stay strong
While I watch you belong to everyone but me for so long

[Pre-Chorus]
Does it matter who’s in your bed?
My heart’s heavy, I wanna cry instead
But I wear my mask, keep my pain inside
Pretend I’m okay, though it hurts to hide

[Chorus]
I’m a shadow in your light, lost in the night
Loving you from a distance, feeling like a fight
Embedded in my soul, a silent cry
Hoping someday you’ll see the tears I hide

[Bridge]
Maybe one day you’ll understand
The love I hold, the pain I’m branded
Until then I’ll keep it low, keep it real
Loving you in silence, that’s my only deal

[Outro]
So I’ll wait in the dark, with a fragile heart
Hoping you’ll see the love behind the tears apart
Until then I’ll stay true, just me and my truth
Living in the shadows, loving you, my proof

Drums, clarinet, sax, piano, intense high to low piano, make it a song that everyone likes. Catchy, alternative genre
