Silent Christmas Shadows

Silent nights, broken and empty, past the glow, I feel so empty

This Christmas doesn't feel right, shadows dancing in my mind

Lost in the darkness, trying to find a light I left behind

Years gone by, haunted by memories, pain I can't deny

Echoes of laughter now silenced, tears I hide deep inside

Wish I could turn back time, hold onto what was mine

Find a place to belong, heal this broken song

Though the world keeps spinning, my heart feels thin

Fighting through the shadows, trying to begin again

Oh, Christmas, why did you fade away?

Lost in a storm, I can't see the day

Wishing for warmth, for love to stay

Hold me close, wash these tears away

Lost my daddy, lost my brother, a pain that's so profound

Spaces in my heart where their love once was, now a hollow sound

Last Christmas was a nightmare, bruised and battered soul

Seeking peace in the silence, trying to be whole

Looking for a sign, a hand to hold in time

Someone to understand, someone who can stand

Through all the hurt, through all the tears

Find me in my darkness, chase away my fears

Oh, Christmas, why did you fade away?

Lost in a storm, I can't see the day

Wishing for warmth, for love to stay

Hold me close, wash these tears away

Maybe someday, I'll find my way

A light to guide me through this gray

Till then I’ll hold on to hope, deep inside

Believe that love can heal this broken ride

So here I stand, in winter’s cold embrace

Hoping for love, for a gentle place

Until that day, I’ll dream anew

Waiting for Christmas to come through
