I walk this road with a smile on my face,
But deep inside, there’s an empty space.
They say I’m nice, I hear it every day,
But kindness fades when they turn away.
I’m just a whisper in their busy lives,
A fleeting moment that never survives.
They nod and wave, but they don’t see,
The aching silence inside of me.
I’m just secondary, in a world so loud,
A shadow in the corner, lost in the crowd.
They don’t dislike me, but I’m not the one,
Just a passing thought, when the day is done.
Will I fade away, like a star in the night?
Oh, I’m scared I’ll die alone, without a fight.
I reach out my hand, but it falls through the air,
Searching for someone who truly cares.
They laugh and they talk, but it feels so hollow,
A distant echo of a love I can’t borrow.
I’m just a picture on their busy screens,
A fleeting glance in their perfect dreams.
They don’t mean to hurt, but it cuts so deep,
A lonely promise that I can’t keep
I’m just secondary, in a world so loud,
A shadow in the corner, lost in the crowd.
They don’t dislike me, but I’m not the one,
Just a passing thought, when the day is done.
Will I fade away, like a star in the night?
Oh, I’m scared I’ll die alone, without a fight.
Maybe one day I’ll find my place,
Where love is more than just a passing face.
But for now, I’m just a sigh in the breeze,
A heart that longs for someone to see.
I’m just secondary, in a world so loud,
A shadow in the corner, lost in the crowd.
They don’t dislike me, but I’m not the one,
Just a passing thought, when the day is done.
Will I fade away, like a star in the night?
Oh, I’m scared I’ll die alone, without a fight.
So here I stand, in this silent space,
Hoping for warmth, for a gentle embrace.
But as the shadows stretch and the daylight fades,
I’ll carry this sadness, through the masquerade
