Shadows of the Heart

Lyrics

In a town where whispers danced like shadows,
Lived a man with a heart wrapped in sorrow.
His past, a storm of sins and regrets,
A tapestry woven with dark silhouettes.

He walked through the night, a ghost in the light,
Haunted by echoes of wrongs he couldn’t right.
But then came a spark, a flame in the dark,
A young lady’s smile ignited his heart.

She was a garden, untouched by the rain,
With laughter like sunlight, washing away pain.
He fell like a leaf in the autumn’s embrace,
But the weight of his secrets, a shackle, a trace.

“Tell her the truth,” the shadows would hiss,
“Or live in the lie of a fleeting bliss.”
He pondered the words of a wise soul who said,
“The truth will set you free, but first it will make you dread.”

His heart was a pendulum, swinging between,
The love that he felt and the man he had been.
Each moment with her, a dagger to his chest,
For how could he love her, when he was a mess?

In the stillness of night, he wrestled with fate,
A choice that could shatter or liberate.
Would she still embrace him, if she knew of his past?
Or would love turn to ashes, a shadow cast?

As dawn broke the silence, he made up his mind,
To shed the dark cloak, leave the past behind.
With trembling hands, he took a deep breath,
For love was the light that could conquer his death.

In the end, he chose to lay bare his soul,
To trust in her heart, to make himself whole.
For in the depths of darkness, a truth shines bright,
That even the broken can find their own light.

**Chorus:**
In the shadows of the heart, where secrets reside,
A man seeks redemption, with love as his guide.
Though the past may be heavy, and the truth hard to bear,
In the garden of hope, he finds solace there.
