Reaching for light

Lyrics

[INTRO] The city hums, neon flickers, and my heart still echoes in the night. The traffic lights are like distant stars, A pulse that syncs with my restless scars. I walk the sidewalks, chasing a ghost, In this concrete maze where love feels most. [VERSE 1] I keep your name like static in my chest, You pull me close, then leave me with the rest. You say I'm yours, but only when it suits your game, And still I burn, even knowing you won't feel the same. Your touch is a spark, your words are a flame, But every promise dies, leaving only blame. [PRE-CHORUS] Every word you whisper is a shadow on my mind, I trace the cracks where our love once found its light. The echoes of your laugh in empty streets, A rhythm I can't skip, a heart that repeats. [CHORUS] I want the lie, I want the light you let me borrow, I want your touch, even if it turns to sorrow. I'm lost in you, though you're never really mine, A heart can know the truth and still cross. [VERSE 2] Midnight sirens play the soundtrack to our grief, Your silhouette drifts through my sleepless belief. I chase reflections in glass, a phantom trace, Each step a question, every breath a chase. Your silence fills the alley, a hollow choir, Yet I keep humming your name, burning like fire. [PRE-CHORUS] The city lights flicker, but your eyes stay dim, I feel your absence like a storm on a rim. The streets remember the rhythm of our past, I walk it in silence, hoping it will last. [CHORUS] I want the lie, I want the light you let me borrow, I want your touch, even if it turns to sorrow. I'm lost in you, though you're never really mine, A heart can know the truth and still cross. [BRIDGE] I paint our love in neon on the boulevard, The colors fade,
