Shadow of my Heart

Shadows fall when I look back, I see the cracks in the mask

Caught between the truth and regret, I lost what we had at last

I pushed too hard, crossed the line, blinded by my own desire

Started the fire, heated past, now all I do is watch it expire

They walked away, not by choice, but from the weight I placed on their shoulders

A silent scream, a broken dream, I was the colder, the bolder

If I could turn back, rewrite the past, mend what I broke

Would you forgive the tears I shed, the words I never spoke?

I was the reason, I was the storm that tore us apart

Built the walls high and wide, lost the love in my own scars

Not your betrayal, just my shadow, cast the blame on me

I’m sorry for the pain, I wasn’t who you wanted me to be

Actions spoke louder than my apologies, yet I can’t undo the damage

Caught in the mirror’s cruel reflection, I see the guardian I abandoned

You loved me, but my fears and doubts made the choices that you had to face

Now I stand in the ruins of us, trapped in this remorseful place

If I could undo the dark, I’d keep you close, I swear

But now I only have these tears, and the echo of despair

I was the reason, I was the storm that tore us apart

Built the walls high and wide, lost the love in my own scars

Not your betrayal, just my shadow, cast the blame on me

I’m sorry for the pain, I wasn’t who you wanted me to be

Maybe someday you’ll see, I was fighting my own fears

And all I want is a chance to wipe away these tears

To heal the broken pieces, rebuild what I destroyed

Learn from my mistake, find the love I once employed

So here I stand, full of regret, hoping you might understand

That it was me, not you, who lost what we had, I hold my hand

And pray that time can heal the wounds I made, and you’ll forgive

For I was the shadow at your side, trying just to live

Whispers of the past, echo in my mind

Silent shadows, I can't leave behind

Walking down the empty streets of memory

Footsteps fading, lost in the reverie

Choices I made, like scars on my soul

Wishing I could go back and make it whole

Every word unsaid, every tear I hide

Haunted by the love I let slide

Can’t undo the hourglass’s flow

Regrets keep crawling, never letting go

Regrets, they linger in the night

Fading dreams, slipping from my sight

Heart is heavy, burdened by the past

Hope it’s not too late to change at last

Faces fade, but memories remain

Lessons learned through the pain and rain

Midnight confessions, whispered sins

Searching for forgiveness within

Every choice I wish I could reverse

In the silence, feel the curse

Time’s river runs, but I’m still here

Carrying my doubts and my fears

Regrets, they linger in the night

Fading dreams, slipping from my sight

Heart is heavy, burdened by the past

Hope it’s not too late to change at last

Maybe tomorrow’s another chance

To dance again, to find romance

But tonight I dwell in this sorrow

Hoping for a brighter tomorrow

Whispers of the past, calling me

Reminding me who I used to be

Still searching for a way to mend

In the echoes, I find no end
