Shadows of myself

Verse 1

I’ve been walking through the silence,
Tracing footsteps I can’t find.
Every promise feels like violence,
When I can’t give you all that’s mine.

You keep reaching for the pieces,
But they’re scattered in the dark.
I’m a puzzle with no edges,
And you’re holding half a hear.

Pre-Chorus
I wish I could be stronger,
Wish I could let you in.
But every time I try,
I break where I begin.

Chorus

I’m just shadows of myself,
A ghost inside your hands.
You deserve a love that’s whole,
But I’m fractured where I stand.
And I can’t be what you need,
No matter how I plan…
I’m living in the ruins,
Of half a man.

Verse 2

You see light where I see failure,
You keep faith when I let go.
But the weight of all my secrets,
Is a truth you’ll never know.

I’ve been drowning in the silence,
Trying hard to breathe again.
But the harder that I fight it,
The less of me remains.

Pre-Chorus

I wish I could be fearless,
Wish I could heal the pain.
But every time I reach,
I fall back down again.

Chorus

I’m just shadows of myself,
A ghost inside your hands.
You deserve a love that’s whole,
But I’m fractured where I stand.
And I can’t be what you need,
No matter how I plan…
I’m living in the ruins,
Of half a man.

Bridge

If love is fire, I’m the ashes.
If hope is light, I’m fading fast.
You gave me everything that matters,
But I can’t outrun my past.

Chorus 

I’m just shadows of myself,
A ghost inside your hands.
You deserve a love that’s whole,
But I’m fractured where I stand.
And I can’t be what you need,
No matter how I plan…
I’m living in the ruins,
Of half a man.
