Shadows and Hearbeats

(Verse 1)

He’s a king on the corner, with a heart made of stone,

Chasing dreams in the night, never wanting to own,

Got a smile that could charm, but it’s lost in the crowd,

While I stand in the shadows, praying he’d be proud.

(Pre-Chorus)

But the nights feel colder, when the sun starts to fade,

I’m lost in his laughter, but my heart’s been betrayed,

He’s out with the wild ones, while I wait by the phone,

A love that’s so deep, but I’m still all alone.

(Chorus)

Oh, I’m loving a ghost, a heart full of dreams,

He’s dancing with danger, tearing at the seams,

I’m loyal as the moon, while he plays in the sun,

But he’s breaking my heart, and I’m the only one.

Shadows and heartbeats, we’re worlds apart,

I’m chasing his memory, but he’s lost in the dark.

(Verse 2)

Every night I wonder, if he thinks of my face,

While he’s tangled in sheets, in a reckless embrace,

I’m the girl in the silence, he won’t ever define,

But I’m holding his secrets, like they’re written in mine.

(Pre-Chorus)

And the whispers of hope, they fade with each kiss,

Caught up in a love, that feels like a twist,

He says he won’t share me, but he won’t be my own,

Caught in this cycle, a heart made of stone.

(Bridge)

I’m searching for sunshine, in a life full of rain,

But his love is a riddle, wrapped up in pain,

I need to let go, but I can’t turn away,

‘Cause the shadows are pulling, and I’m lost in the gray.

(Outro)

Maybe someday I’ll find, a love that’s my own,

But for now, I’m just living, in the shadows alone,

He’s a king on the corner, with his heart made of stone,

And I’m loving a ghost, in a world of my own.
