Shadows of Forever

[Intro]
Once a promise, once a vow
Sixteen years in love somehow
Thought forever was our plan
But life shifts like grains of sand

[Verse 1]
Mike and Chloe, story unfolds
Hearts intertwined, stories told
Hoped that love would never fade
But shadows cast, plans betrayed

[Pre-Chorus]
Time reveals what we can't see
Secrets hidden, pain runs free
Thought we knew what we were doing
But mistakes keep redoing

[Chorus]
Forever’s just a word we say
Falling apart, slipping away
Caught in the grip of what we knew
Breaking apart, me and you

[Bridge]
Knew the clock was winding down
Signs that love was wearing a crown
Confidence turned into doubt
What it was, what it’s about

[Outro]
Stories of love, stories of pain
Lessons learned through joy and rain
Mike and Chloe, reaching the end
A chapter closed, a new begins

Emotional ballad, acoustic guitar, subtle piano, heartfelt vocals
