Waiting in Shadows

Hey, it's been a while, I guess I still hold on

Seeing your face on my phone, all alone

All these selfies, you brighten my day

But your words tell me you're just not okay

Every morning I wake up, hoping for a sign

You talk to me like we're just fine

Sending selfies, more than just a passin' glance

Caught in a loop, lost in your dance

You say you want a guy, but you're talking to me

Is it just comfort or an insecure plea?

Months go by, I wonder if you see

The pain in my eyes whenever you leave me on read

I'm drowning in feelings I can't control

You're in my mind, you're in my soul

You say you want someone, but I know it’s not me

I'm just a ghost in your story, a silent plea

Sometimes I get a message, out of the blue

My heart jumps, I respond to you

But most times, I’m left in the shade

Just waiting for a sign, for you to stay

You talk about love, about finding someone true

But my love for you, I never withdrew

Sharing your selfies, hoping for more

But behind those photos, what are you looking for?

You say you want a guy, but you're talking to me

Is it just comfort or an insecure plea?

Months go by, I wonder if you see

The pain in my eyes whenever you leave me on read

I'm drowning in feelings I can't control

You're in my mind, you're in my soul

You say you want someone, but I know it’s not me

I'm just a ghost in your story, a silent plea

Sometimes I get a message, out of the blue

My heart jumps, I respond to you

But most times, I’m left in the shade

Just waiting for a sign, for you to stay

Maybe someday, you'll see me true

But for now, I’m just a shadow in you

Holding onto hope that you’ll look my way

Until that day, I’ll stay and pray

So I send my selfies, hoping you’ll see

The boy who loves you endlessly

And if you ever decide to stay

I'll be here, waiting, come my way
