Fading Shadows

Verse 1:

I walk alone through empty streets,

The echoes of us beneath my feet.

I tried to hold what slipped away,

But memories won’t let me stay.

Pre-Chorus:

Every smile, every tear,

They’re haunting me like you’re still here.

I’m chasing light in the dark,

Still feeling the weight of your spark.

Chorus:

I’m holding on to fading shadows,

Searching for the pieces I can’t let go.

Even in the silence, I hear your voice,

Reminding me of what I lost, my choice.

Beautiful things, they hurt the most,

Like a love I can’t keep, a ghost.

Verse 2:

The stars above, they whisper your name,

I try to forget but it feels the same.

I’m drowning in the could-have-beens,

Trying to start but stuck in the end.

Bridge:

Maybe one day I’ll see it clear,

The pain will fade, the sky will cheer.

But tonight I’ll sing to the empty air,

Hoping you’re listening somewhere out there.

Chorus (Repeat/Variation):

I’m holding on to fading shadows,

Searching for the pieces I can’t let go.

Even in the silence, I hear your voice,

Reminding me of what I lost, my choice.

Beautiful things, they hurt the most,

Like a love I can’t keep, a ghost.

Outro:

I’ll keep walking through the night,

Holding your memory in the light.

Beautiful things, even if they break,

They’re the pieces of love I’ll never fake.
