[Verse]
I wear my scars like a paper crown
Every smile I fake keeps pulling me down
Lost in a maze
I can't find the door
I reach for hands
But they’re not here anymore
[Prechorus]
I gave my all
They gave me the cold
They left me standing in the night so bold
[Chorus]
Faded shadows
They don't stay
People leave
They run away
I’m screaming loud
But they don’t hear
I’m fighting battles with my fear
Faded shadows
Here to stay
[Verse 2]
I hear their laughs like a distant bell
Their silence louder than I could ever yell
Tried to stitch my heart with broken thread
But the echoes of them linger in my head
[Prechorus]
They walked away
Left me in the storm
I built my walls
To keep me warm
[Chorus]
Faded shadows
They don’t stay
People leave
They run away
I’m screaming loud
But they don’t hear
I’m fighting battles with my fear
Faded shadows
Here to stay
