Chasing Shadows in Love

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Back to the same old game,

Love's a fickle flame.

Falling like leaves in the fall,

Thought we were real, now I'm building up walls.

You shine like gold, but I’m scarred and bruised,

Guess we’re all actors, and I’m just confused.

You’re playing your role, got me under your spell,

Every time I leave, I’m back, can’t you tell?

Chasing a dream, that’s a shadow, a ghost,

I keep coming back, but you’re the one I want most.

Thought I could change it, thought I could sway you,

But love’s a puzzle where I'm missing a few hues.

I’m running in circles, a marathon of pain,

One day I smile, the next clouds and rain.

I’m looking for real, a love that won’t fade,

But I’m stuck in this loop, yeah, I feel like a slave.

Every time I call, it’s silence or games,

Am I meant to be lonely? Can't escape these chains.

Caught in your riptide, I’m drowning too deep,

Whispers of hope, but it’s heartbreak I reap.

You play your card while I’m folding my heart,

Like a moth to a flame, yeah, tearing apart.

Each time I rise, you pull me back down,

I’m seeking the truth in this masquerade town.

It feels so good, but it hurts so bad,

Keep spinning this wheel, the love that I’ve had.

Still, I’m here hoping, maybe you’ll change,

But love’s a twisted game, gotta face it, it’s strange.

I’m losing myself in the chase of your love,

Like a bird with clipped wings, can’t soar high above.

I’m looking for real, a love that won’t fade,

But I’m stuck in this loop, yeah, I feel like a slave.

Every time I call, it’s silence or games,

Am I meant to be lonely? Can't escape these chains.

Maybe I'm cursed, maybe it's fate,

To love what I can’t and speculate.

Feelings so heavy, my heart’s on the line,

Wishing you’d notice, but I’m running out of time.

Searching for something, but it feels so far,

Love should be healing; what you give is a scar.

In this endless cycle, one thing rings true,

Maybe I’m not meant for anyone, maybe it’s just you.
