In Her Shadows

Verse 1: I see you smile, but not at me You chase her light so endlessly I stand so close, yet feel so far Like wishing on a faded star I whisper words you'll never hear A love that stays but disappears I reach, but hands won't intertwine I'm losing you, though you were mine Pre-Chorus: I trace the words I cannot say A heart that aches, a love delayed You see her face, you hear her name And I am lost within the flame Chorus: If I were her, would you stay? Would my name be the one you say? Would you hold me, soft and true? Like she’s the air, but I’m the blue Would you miss me in the cold? Would my love be yours to hold? But I’m fading, lost in time Loving you, though you’re not mine Verse 2: She’s the dawn, I’m the dusk You reach for her with all your trust You chase the glow that burns so bright While I am drowning in the night She laughs, you turn, you melt, you break But I’m just shadows in your wake A silent hope, a quiet dream A love that’s real but goes unseen Bridge: If she lets you go someday Will you hear the words I say? Or will I stay a ghost in time Loving you but never mine? Chorus (reprise): If I were her, would you stay? Would my name be the one you say? Would you hold me, soft and true? Like she’s the air, but I’m the blue Would you miss me in the cold? Would my love be yours to hold? But I’m fading, lost in time Loving you, though you’re not mine Outro: And if she breaks your heart in two Would you turn and see me too? Or am I just a fleeting thought A love that’s real but still forgot?
