In my own shadow

Silent words echo in my mind

Locked away, so hard to find

Fears of past, shadows cast

Will I ever break this glass?

Met her eyes across the room

A fleeting spark in my gloom

Remembered all the tears I've cried

Trust once lost, can't deny

Heart beats loud, but I pull away

Fear of pain keeps me at bay

Wanna tell her how I feel inside

But my secrets, I can't confide

Oh, I’m scared to fall again

Betrayal’s scars are still my pain

Hiding all these truths I feel

Hoping one day I can heal

Maybe someday I’ll be brave

Pour out the words I’ve kept in caves

Until then, I’ll just pretend

Love’s a risk I’ll never send

Silent words, still unspoken

Hearts of glass, fragile and broken

Waiting for the day to see

If love is truly ment for me
