[Verse 1]
The alley hums
The neon blinks
A barstool creaks
My whiskey sinks
I asked the moon
She just stared back
Her silver glow won’t fill the cracks
[Chorus]
I’m searching the shadows
I’m chasing the night
Hoping to stumble on something that’s right
But love doesn’t live where the streetlights fade
I keep finding the wrong hearts
I’m afraid
[Verse 2]
A cigarette smile
Her laugh like rain
She spoke of freedom
I clung to chains
Her eyes were storms
Her words like fire
But her touch was ash
No love to inspire
[Prechorus]
Every corner I turn
Every stranger I meet
Feels like the echo of some old defeat
[Chorus]
I’m searching the shadows
I’m chasing the night
Hoping to stumble on something that’s right
But love doesn’t live where the streetlights fade
I keep finding the wrong hearts
I’m afraid
[Bridge]
I’ve walked through rooms where silence screamed
I’ve built my hopes on borrowed dreams
Each face I find
A fleeting spark
But none can warm this aching dark
