Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the shadow of the streetlight glow,
Where dreams are whispers, and hope is slow,
An empty bottle, a crumpled note,
Lost in the echoes of a life once wrote.

[VERSE 1]
Old and unwanted, just a ghost in the crowd,
Desperate and broke, I wear it like a shroud,
Each passing day, feels like a stone,
Nothing to do but stroke these woes alone.

[CHORUS]
Hold me close, but I’m too far away,
Searching for the light in the shades of gray,
All these scars, they tell a story untold,
In the silence, my heart grows cold.

[VERSE 2]
Walk the alleys where lost dreams lay,
Promises fade, like the end of the day,
With every tear, a river flows,
In a barren land where no one goes.

[CHORUS]
Hold me close, but I’m too far away,
Searching for the light in the shades of gray,
All these scars, they tell a story untold,
In the silence, my heart grows cold.

[BRIDGE]
Time moves slow, like a thief in the night,
Stealing my chances, fading my light,
But there’s a flicker, a spark in this soul,
In the depths of despair, I’ll find my role.

[CHORUS]
Hold me close, but I’m too far away,
Searching for the light in the shades of gray,
All these scars, they tell a story untold,
In the silence, my heart grows cold.

[OUTRO]
So I’ll carry this weight, with a heart that’s worn,
Desperate and broke, from the dreams I’ve sworn,
But in the shadow of the night, I’ll learn to cope,
For even in sorrow, there lies a thread of hope.
