Ghosts of Misunderstanding

Whispers in the shadow, they don’t see my light,

Chasing after phantoms, lost in the night.

I wore my heart like armor, still they threw their stones,

Building up a fortress, but I'm all alone.

Tried to bridge the distance, tried to wear your shoes,

But you keep your secrets like a puzzle, a ruse.

And every time I reach out, I feel you fade away,

A flickering candle, what’s the point to stay?

You say you want me, but you’re a ghost in my hands,

A fleeting moment, slipping through the strands.

I don’t need saving, just need you to be real,

But you’re a distant memory, I’m left to conceal.

I change my ways with hopes you might see my soul,

Wearing all your favorites, just trying to feel whole.

But all the mirrors break and reflect your disdain,

I twist in your direction, still lost in this game.

And every time I try, I’m met with silence cold,

The warmth of your presence is a story untold.

You say you want me, but you’re a ghost in my hands,

A fleeting moment, slipping through the strands.

I don’t need saving, just need you to be real,

But you’re a distant memory, I’m left to conceal.

Maybe I’ll find my voice, learn to speak my truth,

Learn to love the silence, embrace my own youth.

And if you disappear, I’ll stand strong in the rain,

Rewrite [Intro]

Whispers in the shadow, they don’t see my light,

Chasing after phantoms, lost in the night.

I wore my heart like armor, still they threw their stones,

Building up a fortress, but I'm all alone.

Tried to bridge the distance, tried to wear your shoes,

But you keep your secrets like a puzzle, a ruse.

And every time I reach out, I feel you fade away,

A flickering candle, what’s the point to stay?

You say you want me, but you’re a ghost in my hands,

A fleeting moment, slipping through the strands.

I don’t need saving, just need you to be real,

But you’re a distant memory, I’m left to conceal.

I change my ways with hopes you might see my soul,

Wearing all your favorites, just trying to feel whole.

But all the mirrors break and reflect your disdain,

I twist in your direction, still lost in this game.

And every time I try, I’m met with silence cold,

The warmth of your presence is a story untold.

You say you want me, but you’re a ghost in my hands,

A fleeting moment, slipping through the strands.

I don’t need saving, just need you to be real,

But you’re a distant memory, I’m left to conceal.

Maybe I’ll find my voice, learn to speak my truth,

Learn to love the silence, embrace my own youth.

And if you disappear, I’ll stand strong in the rain,

Rewrite my existence, break free from this chain.

Whispers fade to echoes, but I’ll find my way,

Learn to see the sunshine, and turn night to day.

You may be a specter, a shadow that won’t last,

But I’m breaking free now, I’m free from the past.
