Shadows Fade Away

Whispers in the dark, shadows fade away

Echoes of your voice, now just yesterday

You said forever, but you played your game

Princess of my heart, lost in your fame

Stage lights dim, I was just unseen

Background noise in your grand scheme

You vanished like smoke, slipping out of sight

Old pictures fade into the night

Your name carved in blood, scraped off the wall

Laughter with someone new, I hear it all

It doesn't cut anymore, just lessons learned

No hate in my heart, just bridges burned

Burned your love, but a new fire ignites

You’re no longer holding me in the night

From ashes, I rise, unbroken, free

Your shadow’s gone, I finally see

No more tears, no more fights

Walking into new dawns, into new light

You played a game, but lost your way

I’m moving on, come what may

Forever’s a lie, now I believe

In the strength to finally leave
