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.
