Verse 1
I see you laughing, talking like you used to
And I pretend that it doesn’t break me through
I’ve built these walls around my quiet heart
But every smile of yours still pulls me apart
Pre-Chorus
I try to speak, I try to stay away
But memories of you, they never fade
Chorus
I’m still in your shadow, holding what I can’t let go
Though you’ve found someone new, I still feel it too
The love I left behind, it’s echoing inside
I’m still in your shadow, trying not to show
Verse 2
I feel the ache when you mention her name
A bittersweet reminder, it’s always the same
I wanted to move, to let my heart be free
But somehow, you’re still a part of me
Pre-Chorus
I try to speak, I try to walk away
But memories of you, they never fade
Chorus
I’m still in your shadow, holding what I can’t let go
Though you’ve found someone new, I still feel it too
The love I left behind, it’s echoing inside
I’m still in your shadow, trying not to show
Bridge
If I were braver, I’d tell you all my fears
If I were stronger, I’d let go of the years
But I’m still here, quietly standing near
Watching from afar, loving you in silence, my dear
Chorus / Outro
I’m still in your shadow, holding what I can’t let go
Though you’ve found someone new, I still feel it too
The love I left behind, it’s echoing inside
I’m still in your shadow, trying not to show
