[Verse]
Woke up this morning the sun refused to rise
Empty streets whispering secrets and lies
Faces I see hiding sorrow and pain
In this gray city where hearts break again
[Verse 2]
Dreams are like ashes scattered in the wind
Promises broken where do we begin
Echoes of laughter now haunting the night
Living in shadows afraid of the light
[Chorus]
Drowning in shadows can't catch my breath
Running from truth yet there's nothing left
Reality's chains pulling us down
In this sad melody we slowly drown
[Verse 3]
Lovers they pass by with tears in their eyes
Hopes falling harder than yesterday's skies
Songs on the radio no longer soar
They reflect stories of losing once more
[Bridge]
We paint our smiles over broken hearts
Hiding the fractures tearing us apart
Life's like a puzzle with pieces askew
Trying to fit but there's always one blue
[Chorus]
Drowning in shadows can't catch my breath
Running from truth yet there's nothing left
Reality's chains pulling us down
In this sad melody we slowly drown
