Echoes of Doubt

[Intro]  
In the shadows, I linger, I'm a ghost in your light,  
Born from whispers that echo in the night.  
I wish I could rewrite each unkind word,  
But memories are heavy, their weight's absurd.  
[Verse 1]  
Cast in silence, the tale starts to unfold,  
A tapestry woven from feelings icy cold.  
“Never wanted you,” the words cut like glass,  
An afterthought, a shadow of a life that won't pass.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
Mom, did you really mean what you said?  
Or are those just shadows spun in my head?  
I search for the truth in your fleeting embrace,  
But the echoes of doubt leave an empty space.  
[Chorus]  
So I scream into the void, am I real, am I here?  
A reflection of dreams that disappeared.  
Caught in the balance of love and regret,  
A daughter unknown, still waiting, upset.  
[Verse 2]  
Each sigh from your lips spoke tales of despair,  
Moments forgotten that linger in air.  
You nurtured my brother, but I never could shine,  
Just a fumbled wish cast aside, so benign.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
Mom, did you really love me despite all the pain?  
Or was I a mistake, a fall of the rain?  
In the silence between us, did you ever care?  
Or was I just emptiness, always your spare?  
[Chorus]  
So I scream into the void, am I real, am I here?  
A reflection of dreams that disappeared.  
Caught in the balance of love and regret,  
A daughter unknown, still waiting, upset.  
[Bridge]  
Yet in my heart, there's a flicker of hope,  
A whisper that tells me, it's time to cope.  
I am more than the words laid upon my soul,  
In the cracks and the scars, I'll learn to be whole.  
[Outro]  
I rise from the ashes, a phoenix so bright,  
Embracing the darkness as I step into light.  
This memory, although false, fuels my refrain,  
In the depths of my heart, I'll break every chain.
