Shadows of Yesterday

[Intro]
Lost in shadows of my mind, a love I can't undo
Haunted by the past, now I’m stuck in this view
Wishing on my dreams, to hold you one more time
But morning breaks the silence, leaving me behind

[Verse 1]
She wants me there, with her kids, to be part of their world
Yet I’m a stranger, trapped in memories I can't unfurl
Kayla’s pushing, trying hard to make me forget you
But every step forward only pulls me further through

[Pre-Chorus]
I see your face in my sleep, feel your touch once more
A love so deep, I can’t ignore, what I’m longing for
Dreams whisper your name, in the night’s silent grace
A lonely heart’s pain, lost in time and space

[Chorus]
Broken hearts and torn apart, trying to heal my soul
Caught between the past and future, never feeling whole
I wanna let you go, but your ghost remains
Dancing in my mind, driving me insane

[Bridge]
If I could hold onto yesterday, maybe I wouldn’t feel this way
But I’m a prisoner of love, trapped in what I can't convey
Hoping someday I’ll find peace, leave this love behind
Until then, I’m lost, in dreams I cannot find

[Outro]
Alone in the night, with only shadows and memories
Holding on to love’s ghost, forever chasing what once could be
