[Intro – Whispered/Softly Sung]
I still see your face in the dark
We were light, now we’re scars
---
[Verse 1 – Rap]
We were lightning, hearts untamed
Two broken souls with too much flame
City lights, midnight drives
Now I walk alone through the echoes of lies
You said “forever” like it meant something
But forever fades when the past starts burning
Still hear your laugh in a crowded train
Still feel the sting when they say your name
---
[Pre-Chorus – Sung softly]
You were the song that saved my fall
Now you're the silence in it all
And I can’t move, I can’t breathe
Caught in the space where you used to be
---
[Chorus – Sung with power]
You're just a shadow now
But I can’t let go, I don’t know how
I chase the ghost of what we were
Even though I know it hurts
If love was war, we lost the fight
But I’d still burn for you tonight
You're the echo in my blood
You're the shadow... of us
---
[Verse 2 – Rap faster, more emotional]
You left like winter in the spring
Cold touch in the warmth you’d bring
Told myself I’d be just fine
But I lied with every rhyme
Still dream of your hand in mine
Waking up to a different time
You moved on, yeah, I can tell
But I’m still stuck in this quiet hell
---
[Bridge – Sung, falsetto or fragile]
If time could bend, I’d take us back
Rewrite the pain, erase the cracks
But maybe we were meant to break
To show us how much hearts can take
---
[Final Chorus – Explosive]
You're just a shadow now
But I can’t let go, I don’t know how
I chase the ghost of what we were
Even though I know it hurts
If love was war, we lost the fight
But I’d still burn for you tonight
You're the echo in my blood
You're the shadow... of us
[Outro – Whispered/Softly Sung]
And if I fade into the dust
Let them say I burned... for us
