I just want to feel safe

[Hook / Chorus – 7 Bars] I keep searching for a shadow I can’t find, Every heartbeat’s a question left behind, Love slips through my fingers like sand, Every touch feels distant, never planned, I’m chasing ghosts in the dark of night, Hoping for a spark that never ignites, Maybe my match is just out of sight. ⸻ [Verse 1 – 12 Bars] I’ve walked through storms, felt the cold rain, Smiles that fade, echoes of pain, Tried to hold what wasn’t mine, Promises whispered, lost in time, Every glance another cruel tease, Every hug just a bitter breeze, I give my all, yet it’s never enough, Hearts collide then crumble, rough, I keep hoping someone will stay, But love drifts like clouds away, Empty rooms and sleepless nights, Fading candles, forgotten lights. ⸻ [Verse 2 – 12 Bars] I see couples in the streets, holding hands, While I’m stuck here, building castles in sand, Every smile I chase just turns to pain, Every sunrise is a reminder of what I can’t gain, I thought I’d find the one who understands, But life keeps slipping through my hands, I wear my heart like armor, cracked, Every chapter of love leaves me abstract, I want to trust, I want to believe, But the wounds of the past never leave, I whisper to the night, “Where are you?” Searching for a soul I never knew. ⸻ [Verse 3 – 12 Bars] I wonder if I’m meant to walk alone, A path of shadows, a heart of stone, Every story ends before it starts, Love seems like a language I don’t chart, I crave a touch that feels like home, But all I get is a vacant dome, Every heartbeat echoes empty rooms, Every kiss replaced with impending gloom, I keep chasing a dream I can’t catch, Every flame fades, every latch detached, Yet I keep walking, still hoping somehow, That my lost love will find me now.
