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
