Waiting in the Shadows

[Intro]
Whispers in the quiet night
Echoes of a love that's not quite right

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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
