Shadows of what could've been

“Shadows of What Could’ve Been” Verse 1 We painted skies with every word we said, Dreams we carried, never built, just left unsaid. I see the life we almost wrote in stars, Now it lingers like a ghost inside my heart. Pre-Chorus And I can’t touch the future we were chasing, Only echoes in the silence I keep facing… Chorus These are the shadows of what could’ve been, Fading like the love we lost within. I still reach for your hand in the dark of the night, But the warmth is gone, just the memory’s light. Oh, we’re haunted by the moments we’ll never live, Shadows of what could’ve been. Verse 2 Your laughter’s still a whisper in the wind, But time keeps stealing chances we won’t get again. Every promise now a photograph that fades, A song of love that silence overplayed. Pre-Chorus And I’m still standing where the music ended, Holding pieces of a dream that won’t be mended… Chorus These are the shadows of what could’ve been, Fading like the love we lost within. I still reach for your hand in the dark of the night, But the warmth is gone, just the memory’s light. Oh, we’re haunted by the moments we’ll never live, Shadows of what could’ve been. Bridge I close my eyes and I see us still, Dancing slow on the edge of forever. But forever slipped right through our hands, And now I’m left with never. Final Chorus (bigger, more desperate) These are the shadows of what could’ve been, A melody that’s gone before it begins. I still hear your voice in the quiet air, But I turn around… and you’re not there. Oh, we’re haunted by the moments we’ll never live, Shadows… of what could’ve been.
