Chasing Shadows

[Intro]
Walking down the highway, shadows in the sun
Could’ve been forever, now for you it's none

[Verse 1]
See you in the distance, trying to catch my eye
Acting like you don’t see me, but I know you lie
One night — a story, we can't undo
You keep on chasing, what am I supposed to do?

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve turned away, I’ve said no a thousand times
But you keep on running, crossing all the lines
Why are you so persistent? Don’t you understand?
Getting tired, baby, please let go of your hand

[Chorus]
Every day I walk past your face
You keep on trying to chase the space
That you left, that I can’t replace
Can't believe you’re still in this race

[Verse 2]
Rejection’s never easy, I’ve been clear and loud
But your obsession’s heavy, it’s got me feeling bowed
I rejected with a reason, don’t forget my name
Stop running after shadows, it’s just a reckless game

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve turned away, I’ve said no a thousand times
But you keep on running, crossing all the lines
Why are you so persistent? Don’t you understand?
Getting tired, baby, please let go of your hand

[Chorus]
Every day I walk past your face
You keep on trying to chase the space
That you left, that I can’t replace
Can't believe you’re still in this race

[Bridge]
Is it love or just obsession? I can't tell
Your chase is burning, breaking every spell
I wish I could forget, leave it all behind
But your shadow’s haunting my mind

[Outro]
So I keep walking, pretending I don’t see
Hoping someday you’ll set this feeling free
But for now, I’m walking down the highway
Hoping you’ll stop chasing, some distant day

Pop-rock, emotional, guitar-driven, catchy chorus, introspective mood sad
