Heart wants to soar, but my mind keeps it at bay,
Love’s a beautiful dream, but I push it away,
Afraid I’ll cause pain, make their skies turn gray,
So I stay in the shadows, where my demons play.
Feeling trapped, can’t escape, in my mind’s maze,
Want to love, but it’s like walking through a haze,
Mental health battles, it’s a constant craze,
Worried I’ll hurt someone in so many ways.
Every day’s a struggle, in this silent war,
Want to open up, but I’m locked behind the door,
Fear of hurting others, cuts me to the core,
So I keep my distance, can’t take anymore.
But deep down inside, there’s a flicker of hope,
That someday I’ll break free, learn to cope,
Find someone who sees beyond the scope,
And together, we’ll navigate through life’s tightrope.

Locked in shadows, my heart feels the strain
Dreams of love, but I’m caught in the pain
Afraid to reach out, make the skies turn grey
But deep inside, there’s a hope that’ll stay
I’ll break free from the fears that confines
Find a love that’s true, in its light, I’ll shine
Together we’ll face the dark, hand in hand we’ll climb
And leave behind the doubts that bind our time

And today again I’m feeling alone
Hoping and seeking just to find a home
But fantasy just pops like a bubble of soap
Phone calls can’t be made I’m always on hold
People always tell me that I’m putting on a show
That’s true I’m standing in the bitter cold
Always seeking and hoping for a glimmer of hope
Wondering tomorrow what I would be told
But let’s face the reality not the dreams I had
However the cruel truth that is so fucking sad
Grasping for a lifeline trying to make it last
But the efforts are futile I know that’s a fact
So now you ask me what should I do
I wish I could tell you honestly if I knew
Of all the things that I’ve been through
You gotta try to love yourself and that’s the truth

Locked in shadows, my heart feels the strain
Dreams of love, but I’m caught in the pain
Afraid to reach out, make the skies turn grey
But deep inside, there’s a hope that’ll stay
I’ll break free from the fears that confines
Find a love that’s true, in its light, I’ll shine
Together we’ll face the dark, hand in hand we’ll climb
And leave behind the doubts that bind our time
