Be My Shadow
[Verse 1]
I spent years cursing your name,
Believed you walked away without shame.
Told myself you never gave a damn,
Just another heart you broke, another scam.
But truth has claws that cut too deep,
It hit me in the dark when I couldn’t sleep.
Now I see what I refused to know—
You loved me more than you let show.
[Pre-Chorus]
You vanished so I could rise,
But I only fell behind your lies.
It wasn’t hate, it wasn’t pride,
You left because love made you hide.
[Chorus]
You’re the heartbeat that keeps me alive,
The ghost in every chorus I write.
We lost the years, but it’s not too late,
Let’s rewrite the twist of fate.
I don’t need forever carved in stone,
Just a second chance to call you home.
If I’m still the man you used to know…
Then be my shadow, and never let go.
[Verse 2]
I touched the sky with a band and a dream,
But without you it all felt offbeat.
I saw your face in every stage light,
Every cheer just echoed the night.
They saw the fame, the fire, the show,
But none of them ever saw me alone.
You were the reason behind every note—
The pain, the power, the antidote.
[Pre-Chorus]
The silence was screaming your name,
While I played that “bad boy” game.
But the truth burned louder than my pride—
I needed you there by my side.
[Chorus]
You’re the heartbeat that keeps me alive,
The ghost in every chorus I write.
We lost the years, but it’s not too late,
Let’s rewrite the twist of fate.
I don’t need forever carved in stone,
Just a second chance to call you home.
If I’m still the man you used to know…
Then be my shadow, and never let go.
[Bridge]
We were broken by the world’s demand,
But look at me now—I’m still reaching for your hand.
We were both just scared to stay,
But I’m not afraid to love you today.
[Final Chorus]
You’re the heartbeat that keeps me alive,
The echo that makes the silence right.
Let the past stay where it belongs—
We’ve still got time, we’ve still got songs.
I don’t need perfect, just your soul,
So be my shadow, and make me whole.
If I’m still your truth beneath the pain…
Then walk with me through the storm again.
