[Verse]
Silence when the sun's shining bright
Shadows call when they're drowning in night
Echoes of voices when they’re needing a hand
I’m the ghost in their shifting sand
[Verse 2]
They vanish when the storms are clear
Return when their skies drip with fear
Their smiles fade when they don’t need a crutch
Guess my worth depends on their clutch
[Chorus]
Used and faded worn like a thread
Only alive when they need what's dead
Lonely whispers scream in my head
A friend in the dark but forgotten instead
[Verse 3]
They knock when their world falls apart
But never see the cracks in my heart
A lighthouse shining for their shattered ship
But no one stays when the waves finally dip
[Bridge]
Cursed to be their lifeline their chain
My cries lost in their sea of pain
Tired of drowning just to save their breath
Living for others feels like a slow death
[Chorus]
Used and faded worn like a thread
Only alive when they need what's dead
Lonely whispers scream in my head
A friend in the dark but forgotten instead
