Elsie - Shadows Of Us Lyrics

I gave you my heart, laid it in your hands
We built all our dreams on promises and plans
But now you're gone, and the silence screams
The life we once knew, fading like a dream

Was it all a lie, or did we just lose our way?
You were my forever, now you're a memory, slipping away

You were the light in my darkest nights
Now I'm chasing shadows where you used to shine bright
You were the reason I believed in love
Now I'm standing here, watching it all come undone
How could the one who knew me best
Be the one who leaves me with an empty chest?
I loved you the most, but you left me behind
Now I'm just a ghost in the shadow of our time

I thought we'd grow old, hand in hand, side by side
But promises break, like waves in the tide
You said forever, but forever's too far
Now I'm picking up pieces of a shattered heart

I still see your face in every place I go
But the love we had, it's just an echo

You were the light in my darkest nights
Now I'm chasing shadows where you used to shine bright
You were the reason I believed in love
Now I'm standing here, watching it all come undone
How could the one who knew me best
Be the one who leaves me with an empty chest?
I loved you the most, but you left me behind
Now I'm just a ghost in the shadow of our time

I still feel your touch, though you're far away
And every tear I cry is a word I can't say
You were my everything, how did we fall apart?
Now I'm left with your shadow haunting my heart

You were the light in my darkest nights
Now I'm chasing shadows where you used to shine bright
You were the reason I believed in love
Now I'm standing here, watching it all come undone
How could the one who knew me best
Be the one who leaves me with an empty chest?
I loved you the most, but you left me behind
Now I'm just a ghost in the shadow of our time

I loved you the most...
But you left me behind...
Now I'm just a shadow... in the ruins of our time...
