[Intro]
Whispers in the hollow, echoes fade away
Lost in the shadow of yesterday
[Verse 1]
I stand here silent, heart on my sleeve
Searching for the reasons why I still believe
You say you’re giving, but I feel the cold
Silent promises left untold
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it just a mirage, a flickering light?
Or something real inside this fight?
I reach out, but you’re someone I can’t reach
A lesson learned, a lesson to teach
[Chorus]
Why can't you love me how I love you?
Every beat of my heart, just for you
Am I holding onto something that’s bound to break?
Or is this love real, or just a mistake?
[Verse 2]
Mirror reflections, shadows on the wall
Questioning if I can stand or if I will fall
You say you give your best, but I see the scars
Hidden behind your stars
[Pre-Chorus]
Are we just lost in a daydream?
Or is this as real as it seems?
I’ve given all I have, I’ve given my truth
Waiting for a sign, waiting for proof
[Chorus]
Why can't you love me how I love you?
Every beat of my heart, just for you
Am I holding onto something that’s bound to break?
Or is this love real, or just a mistake?
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m holding on to Stories we made
Or fears I’ve never dared to parade
Can love survive in the aftermath?
Or are we just chasing shadows at last?
[Outro]
So I’ll let go, set these feelings free
Hope someday you’ll see what you mean to me
But if this love is meant to be torn apart
It’s better to break than to hide the heart
