Shadows Fade

Verse 1
I swore I’d never fall again,
Shielded my heart from all that pain.
The scars I carry, the nights I hide,
I built these walls so I’d survive.

Then you returned, a ghost from the past,
A hand I knew, a love that could last.
But my heart trembles, my trust is thin,
Can I let you in, can I let love begin?

Pre-Chorus
I’ve been broken, I’ve been burned,
I’ve fought the fire, I’ve lived and learned.
And yet your eyes, they call me near,
A fragile flame, flickering here.

Chorus
I want to trust, I want to feel,
To let you love me, to let it heal.
But the shadows linger, whisper my fears,
I’ve loved before, and it brought me tears.
Can I take the chance, let my heart be shown?
Or do I stay broken, forever alone?

Verse 2
Your voice is steady, your touch is kind,
But the past keeps playing inside my mind.
I want to fall, to feel again,
To believe in love, not just pretend.

Every step closer, I fight the doubt,
Every heartbeat whispers, “You’re safe now.”
But can I believe it, can I let go,
Or will the fear take hold, and steal the glow?

Pre-Chorus
I’ve been broken, I’ve been burned,
I’ve fought the fire, I’ve lived and learned.
And yet your eyes, they call me near,
A fragile flame, flickering here.

Chorus
I want to trust, I want to feel,
To let you love me, to let it heal.
But the shadows linger, whisper my fears,
I’ve loved before, and it brought me tears.
Can I take the chance, let my heart be shown?
Or do I stay broken, forever alone?

Bridge
The walls I built may crumble tonight,
I might let go, step into the light.
You’ve waited for me, through all the pain,
Can I rise and love, or fall again?

Final Chorus
I want to trust, I want to feel,
To let you love me, to let it heal.
The shadows fade as I take your hand,
Maybe this time, together we’ll stand.
I’ll let my heart open, let the flame ignite,
A fragile love burning through the night.

Outro
I’ve been afraid, I’ve been scarred,
But your love reaches through, soft and hard.
I take a breath, and finally see,
A broken heart can still believe.
