Shadows of Friendship

**Verse 1**  
In the shadows of the bright lights, I stand alone,  
Watching him laugh, sharing dreams that feel like home.  
Every smile he gives, it cuts me like a knife,  
In his eyes, I’m just a friend, but I crave more in this life.  

**Chorus**  
Oh, can’t he see the love I hide?  
Behind the laughter and the tears I cried.  
A heart that longs, a soul that bends,  
Lost in the silence, where friendship ends.  

**Verse 2**  
Late night whispers, secrets shared in the dark,  
But he’s chasing stardust while I’m left with a spark.  
I’m the girl in the background, cheering from afar,  
Wishing he’d notice, wishing on a star.  

**Chorus**  
Oh, can’t he see the love I hide?  
Behind the laughter and the tears I cried.  
A heart that longs, a soul that bends,  
Lost in the silence, where friendship ends.  

**Bridge**  
Maybe one day he’ll look my way,  
And see the love I’ve tried to convey.  
But until then, I’ll wear this mask,  
Hiding my feelings, it’s all I can ask.  

**Chorus**  
Oh, can’t he see the love I hide?  
Behind the laughter and the tears I cried.  
A heart that longs, a soul that bends,  
Lost in the silence, where friendship ends.  

**Outro**  
So here I stand, in the glow of his fame,  
A silent lover playing a bittersweet game.  
In the echoes of laughter, I’ll quietly remain,  
Just a friend in the shadows, holding onto my pain.
