I am just a shadow, no one sees my pain,
I stand by your side, but alone with time.
I am only your means, never your goal,
my heart is freezing, but I remain silent and play along.
I give you love, but you don't feel it,
my heart is breaking, but your gaze remains unmoved.
No one recognizes what is breaking inside me,
I am just the woman who speaks in the dark.
I swallow my tears, let no one see them,
you move forward, I stand still.
Everyone gets closeness, only I freeze,
I am your woman, but invisible here.
I carry the scars like silent poison,
hope for a word that never exists.
You put me in the background, forget my face,
I wonder why I even exist.
I remain silent because talking doesn't help,
because my voice is drowned out by the noise.
I am your shadow, your silent game,
but my soul is breaking too much.
I see the world, but it doesn't see me,
my heart freezes in the cold light.
I am your means, but never your goal,
I lose myself in pain – and I pay too much.
You accept me, but you never feel me,
my soul cries out, but it never bothers you.
I am the woman who can only remain silent,
because you determine how my life began.
I sacrifice myself, but you hardly notice,
my body trapped in your dream.
Everyone is important, only I am not worthy,
a heart that loves, but is empty inside.
I have learned how to break silently,
how to smile, but not inside.
