Shadows of Our Love

Verse 1 

I remember mornings in your light
Like the world had finally gone right
No storms, no shadows in my mind
Just your hand resting in mine

I worshipped every step you made
Every laugh, every word you gave
In your eyes I found my home
For a while I wasn’t alone

Pre-Chorus

But sometimes love can feel the truth
Before the heart knows what to do

Chorus

So I let you go though it broke my soul
Told myself it was for your dreams
If loving you meant losing you
Then that’s what love would mean

Now seven years and a thousand nights
Still echo with your name
You found the life you deserved to live
And I’m the one who stayed the same

Verse 2 

I saw a future bright and wide
But I feared I’d dim your shining light
Thought the world would treat you better
If I wasn’t in your weather

So I pushed you far beyond the line
Where forgiveness runs out of time
I broke the thing I swore I’d keep
Now your memory walks with me

Chorus

So I let you go though it broke my soul
Told myself it was for your dreams
If loving you meant losing you
Then that’s what love would mean

Now seven years and a thousand nights
Still echo with your name
You found the life you deserved to live
And I’m the one who stayed the same

Bridge 

If these words ever reach your ears
Through the distance of the years
Know the truth behind the pain
I would make that choice again

Not because I stopped loving you
But because my love was true

Final Chorus 

I let you go though it broke my soul
Praying you’d find brighter skies
If you ever hear this melody
Just know the reason why

You were always my greatest love
My miracle, my flame
And somewhere in the songs I write
You’ll always hear your name
