Waiting in the Shadows

Whispers in the quiet night

Echoes of a love that's not quite right

You walk in, like a fading light

Turning moments into bittersweet fights

I hold on, but you slip away

Caught in memories I can't allay

And I know you're someone else's star

Still I wonder who you truly are

Can't help but feel a gentle ache

Watching our love slowly break

You're meant for someone else, I see it now

Lost in a dream, I can't allow

To keep holding on to shadows past

Knowing this love was never meant to last

Your shadow lingers on my mind

A ghost I try to leave behind

Every laugh, each tender glance

Stirs the ache that I can't enhance

Even if my heart's on fire

It's only fueling my desire

For a love that's out of reach

A lesson life still needs to teach

You're meant for someone else, I see it now

Lost in a dream, I can't allow

To keep holding on to shadows past

Knowing this love was never meant to last

Maybe someday I’ll find the way

To turn my night to brighter days

But tonight I drown in tears

Fighting all my deepest fears

So I’ll let go, set you free

Though it breaks what's left of me

You’re for someone else's eyes

And I have to say goodbye
