[Intro]
In shadows where the silence breaks,
I wait for you, my heart aches.
The clock ticks slowly, night unkind,
Wishing for the love I can't find.
[Verse 1]
You slip through the door, cold and distant,
A smile that feels so inconsistent.
I light the candles, hoping you’ll feel,
What’s left of us beneath this steel.
[Pre-Chorus]
You touch me like I’m a fleeting ghost,
And my heart beats for the one I love the most.
But your heart’s a fortress, locked away tight,
Yet I stand here, waiting through this endless night.
[Chorus]
Oh, love, can’t you see?
I’m fighting shadows, longing to be free.
You come and go, just like the tide,
But I’m drowning in this love that’s never satisfied.
Every bruise I bear feels like a word unsaid,
Hoping for a change, but I’m stranded instead.
[Verse 2]
Each moment that you’re near feels like a dream,
But morning comes, and silence screams.
You only care for warmth in your bed,
While I pretend this love isn’t dead.
[Pre-Chorus]
I cook your meals, I fold your clothes,
But all you hear is the silence that grows.
My heart is screaming, but your ears are closed,
In this love story that’s been posed.
[Chorus]
Oh, love, can’t you see?
I’m fighting shadows, longing to be free.
You come and go, just like the tide,
But I’m drowning in this love that’s never satisfied.
Every bruise I bear feels like a word unsaid,
Hoping for a change, but I’m stranded instead.
[Bridge]
But tonight may I dare to dream,
To break these chains and hear me scream.
A heart that's weary, but still it fights,
Chasing love in the dead of night.
[Outro]
So stay a little longer, won’t you please?
Lift me from this dark unease.
I’ll hold my breath, I’ll keep the light,
But can’t you see, I’m losing sight?
Oh, love, don’t leave me blind tonight.
