Shadows

[Intro, Melodic guitar]
Shadows on the pavement,
Echoes in the rain,
I carried all your silence,
And all of your disdain.

[Verse 1]
You looked right through me,
Like I was never there,
I gave you all my colors,
You just saw the air.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I kept on bleeding,
Just to make you stay,
But somewhere deep inside me,
I knew I'd walk away.

[Chorus, Rising guitars]
So I’m leaving now,
No more chains to break me down,
You never saw my worth,
But I won’t drown.
I’m stronger than the weight you made,
Watch me walk,
As the shadows fade.

[Verse 2]
You held me like a secret,
Too heavy to confess,
But I won’t be your burden,
I’m not your emptiness.

[Pre-Chorus]
I stitched my broken pieces,
With fire in my veins,
Now every step I’m taking,
Is freedom in the flame.

[Chorus, Powerpop Chorus]
So I’m leaving now,
No more chains to break me down,
You never saw my worth,
But I won’t drown.
I’m stronger than the weight you made,
Watch me walk,
As the shadows fade.

[Bridge, Whispered vocals, Drum build]
(All the nights I cried in silence,
You will never take that from me)
(All the light I find inside me,
You will never steal that from me)

[Break, Instrumental Interlude, Soaring guitar solo]

[Final Chorus, Emotional build]
So I’m leaving now,
No more chains to break me down,
You never saw my worth,
But I won’t drown.
I’m stronger than the weight you made,
Watch me walk,
As the shadows fade.

[Outro, Quiet arrangement, Echoed vocals]
Shadows fade…
Shadows fade…
I’m walking away.
