Intro:

(Acoustic guitar, soft and melancholic, with a slow build-up to reflect a heart weighed down by unrequited love)

I watch the stars, but they don’t shine
Like they did when you were mine
In the silence, I hear the pain
Of loving you, but all in vain

Verse 1:

You don’t know the tears I hide
In every word I’ve left behind
I gave you all, I gave my soul
But your heart was cold, a bitter toll

I stood there waiting by your side
A thousand dreams, all denied
You were the sun, I was the rain
Drowning in this endless pain

Pre-Chorus:

And every smile you gave away
Was never meant for me to stay
I held on tight, but you let go
I fell apart, you’ll never know

Chorus:

Oh, I’m a shadow in your light
Fading slowly out of sight
I loved you more than I could say
But you turned and walked away
Oh, the pain I feel, it’s breaking through
For all the love I gave to you
I’m lost inside this hollow space
Of a heart you can't replace

Verse 2:

I see your face in every dream
But nothing’s ever as it seems
The words we never spoke out loud
Now echo like a broken vow

You moved on, but here I stay
Caught in the ruins of yesterday
Chasing ghosts of what we were
While you’re somewhere, just a blur

Pre-Chorus:

And every hope I held so tight
Has faded in the cold, dark night
I tried to reach, but you were gone
A love so close, but never won

Chorus:

Oh, I’m a shadow in your light
Fading slowly out of sight
I loved you more than I could say
But you turned and walked away
Oh, the pain I feel, it’s breaking through
For all the love I gave to you
I’m lost inside this hollow space
Of a heart you can't replace

Bridge:

I thought that love was meant to heal
But all I know is what I feel
A silent scream, a wound too deep
The memories I cannot keep

You’re a fire I can’t erase
A burning light I couldn’t chase
Now I stand here all alone
In the wreckage of the love you’ve thrown

Interlude:

(Instrumental—violin and piano, soft yet haunting, symbolizing the emptiness left behind, slowly building to an emotional peak)

Chorus (repeat):

Oh, I’m a shadow in your light
Fading slowly out of sight
I loved you more than I could say
But you turned and walked away
Oh, the pain I feel, it’s breaking through
For all the love I gave to you
I’m lost inside this hollow space
Of a heart you can't replace

Outro:

(Guitar fades with a soft piano, echoing the emptiness and sorrow)

And now I stand here in the rain
A heart that beats, but feels the strain
Of loving you, but all in vain
Faded shadows, lost in pain
