Shadows We Chased

Whispers in the hollow, echoes fade away

Lost in the shadow of yesterday

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

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

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?

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

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

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?

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?

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
