Our shadows

Back in the days, I thought we were meant to be

Thought your love was a fire, burning endlessly

Now shadows dance where the laughter used to lie

Guess I missed the warning, caught in a lie

We were young, dreaming of forever, hand in hand

Building castles in the sky, a promised land

Your smile was my sunrise, your touch my peace

But now it's just echoes, a distant cease

I wish I could find the old you somewhere inside

Pull you back from the storm, the changing tide

But it’s a stranger now, lost in the dark

Leaving behind the love, leaving a mark

We thought we were soulmate stars in the night

But now it’s just shadows, just the fight

All the hate, the pain, the tears that fall

Wish I could go back, wish I knew it all

Monday to Friday, I hold it all together

Feeding her dreams, keeping her light forever

Behind closed doors, I’m breaking apart

Trying to mend a fractured heart

I can’t be what you need, I’m trying

Lost in the silence, crying

Just want the you I used to see

A ghost of who we used to be

We thought we were soulmate stars in the night

But now it’s just shadows, just the fight

All the hate, the pain, the tears that fall

Wish I could go back, wish I knew it all

Maybe someday, we’ll find our way,

Through the hate, to a brighter day

I’m sorry for the love gone wrong,

Holding onto what’s been and what’s gone

All I want is to be, just to be

Lost in your love, setting me free

But now I stand here, alone and blue

Wishing I could get the old you

Just me and my daughter, holding tight

In the darkness, I’m praying for light
