Love and Shadows

Verse 1

You show up in the quiet

In the space between my thoughts

Not the girl I used to hold

But the ghost of who you were

There’s a version of you somewhere

That I still reach out to touch

But it fades before I get there

Like it always does

Love and shadows

Love and shadows

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I know better now

I know how this ends

But knowing don’t stop

The feeling from stepping in

⸻

Chorus

It’s love and shadows

You and the truth

Half of me healing

Half stuck on you

I walk in the daylight

But you follow me through

In love and shadows

I still see you

Love and shadows

Love and shadows

Love and shadows

⸻

Verse 2

I heard you found your way somehow

Or at least that’s what they say

I stopped asking questions

I stopped needing the pain

But there’s nights it all comes back

Like a song I can’t turn off

Every word, every moment

Every line we crossed

⸻

Pre-Chorus

And I don’t want you back

Not the way you were

But I miss what I believed

Before it all burned

⸻

Chorus

It’s love and shadows

You and the truth

Half of me stronger

Half tied to you

I built something better

But it still bleeds through

In love and shadows

I still see you

Love and shadows

Love and shadows

Love and shadows

⸻

Bridge (soft, almost whispered)

You were never mine to keep

But you were never nothing

And I don’t say your name out loud

But it still means something

⸻

Break (piano only, then vocal returns)

⸻

Final Chorus (slightly lifted, emotional release)

It’s love and shadows

Fading but real

A scar that reminds me

Of how I can feel

And I won’t go back there

But I won’t undo

The love in the shadows

That still holds you

Love and shadows

Love and shadows

⸻

Outro (very soft)

Not all love is meant to stay

Some just teaches… then fades away

Love and shadows

Love and shadows

Love and shadows

Love and shadows
