Shadows of My Heart

Silent echoes in my mind, longing to be free

Hiding in the shadows, wishing for a clearer me

Far away I've gone, gotta escape this restless storm

Every time I try to stay, I feel the pull of the unknown

Scared to get too close, afraid of breaking what's inside

Lost in the confusion, nowhere left to hide

I don't know what I want, just need a little space

To breathe and find my voice, in this lonely place

Wish I could be honest, let the truth unfold

Break down all these walls, let my story be told

Why can't I just be real?

Why do I always hide?

Yearning to be close, but afraid to fall

Feeling misunderstood, feeling so small

I wish I could be open, I wish I could be true

Shying away from love, afraid of what I might do

In the quiet, I hear whispers of a different life

Where I don't have to run or hide from the night

Longing for connection, but scared of the pain

Tangled in my fears, trying to break the chains

I don't know what I want, just need a little space

To breathe and find my voice, in this lonely place

Wish I could be honest, let the truth unfold

Break down all these walls, let my story be told

Why can't I just be real?

Why do I always hide?

Yearning to be close, but afraid to fall

Feeling misunderstood, feeling so small

I wish I could be open, I wish I could be true

Shying away from love, afraid of what I might do

Maybe someday I’ll find the courage, to let you in

To shed these fears and start again, to heal from within

Until that moment, I’ll keep searching for my light

Hoping someday I’ll be free, shining bright

Far away I’ve gone, but maybe I’ll return

With open arms and a heart that learns

To love and be loved, without fear inside

Breaking through the shadows, shedding the disguise
