Shadows of an Unloved Soul

[Intro]
Darkness descends, the haunting shroud
A soul reluctant, alone and proud

[Verse 1]
Mirror reflects a battered soul
Shadows whisper, take control
No desire to pledge my heart
Fear of loss tearing apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Love’s a blade, sharp and cold
Dreading stories that unfold
Won't open up, won't lose control
Bound in agony, empty and whole

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna find love, to watch it fade
Fear of the end, I’m barricading the way
Caught in this endless night, no dawn in sight
Refusing to grow old, fight the dying light

[Verse 2]
Promises shatter, dreams decay
Love’s battlefield, I stay away
Eyes shut tight, prevent the pain
Loving only brings suffering’s reign

[Pre-Chorus]
Hearts break, time gnaws and tears
Facing the truth, I face my fears
Won’t surrender, won’t let it in
The agony, the bittersweet sin

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna find love, to watch it fade
Fear of the end, I’m barricading the way
Caught in this endless night, no dawn in sight
Refusing to grow old, fight the dying light

[Bridge]
Eternal darkness, my only friend
No love to lose, no tears to lend
In solitude I shall remain
Avoid the sorrow, avoid the pain

[Breakdown]
Shattered hope, broken core
Love’s forbidden, can’t ignore
Stand alone in shadows deep
A deathly vow, my soul to keep

[Outro]
Alone forever, time’s cruel game
Loving no one, bearing no shame
Frozen in fear, I’ll never fold
A lonely story, never told
