Original Lyrics by J.Lynn
In the midnight hour, where the lost souls roam,
I’m walking through shadows, far away from home.
A whisper in the darkness, it calls out my name,
But love’s just an echo in this heart full of pain.
Loneliness wraps me like a worn-out coat,
Each thread stitched with memories I can’t devote.
You’re just a flicker in a dream’s embrace,
A fleeting mirage I can never chase.
[chorus]
Oh, shadows of my heart won’t let me be free,
Yearning for your touch that I’ll never see.
With every breath I take, I'm drowning in despair;
If love's a sweet illusion, then why do I care?
The moonlight dances on these empty streets,
Where laughter used to linger now silence repeats.
I reach for tomorrow but it's fading fast—
Haunted by dreams of a love that won’t last.
Faint echoes remind me of the warmth we could’ve known,
But here in this twilight, I'm forever alone.
Your smile’s like sunshine on an endless night—
An ember that flickers but never ignites.
[chorus]
Oh, shadows of my heart won’t let me be free,
Yearning for your touch that I’ll never see.
With every breath I take, I'm drowning in despair;
If love's a sweet illusion, then why do I care?
[bridge]
But still in my dreams you’re holding me tight—
Two lost souls dancing under starlit light.
Yet dawn breaks softly and pulls you away;
Just another reminder that you’re not here to stay.
[chorus]
Oh, shadows of my heart won’t let me be free,—
Yearning for your touch that I’ll never see.
With every breath I take, I'm drowning in despair;
If love's a sweet illusion then why do I care?
So I'll walk through these shadows till the end of my days—
A ghost chasing phantoms in this sorrowful haze.
For life is but whispers and dreams left behind—
In the depths of my sadness is where hope’s hard to find...
