Chasing Shadows

[Verse 1] In your eyes, I search for a sign, Something to show that I'm doing fine. But doubts whisper with every glance, In this dance, I'm left to chance. [Verse 2] I give all, yet it feels so small, Against the scale of your needs, I crawl. Each effort made, each word I speak, Seems to fade, ever so weak. [Chorus] Chasing shadows, trying to be what you need, Every smile, every tear, a seed. Striving to grow, to be more than I am, But in your world, I'm just an echo, don’t know where I stand. Verse 3 I craft my days with care and try, To reach the bar set in the sky. Yet falling short is where I land, Invisible efforts, slipping like sand. Bridge Is there a measure that tells when it’s enough? How do I gauge when the road gets tough? I’m spinning in circles, lost in your light, Hoping one day, I’ll get this right. [Chorus] Chasing shadows, trying to be what you need, Every smile, every tear, a seed. Striving to grow, to be more than I am, But in your world, I'm just an echo, don’t know where I stand. [Verse] Each day a test, a trial to prove, That I can move, can improve. But the finish line keeps on fading, Out of reach, relentlessly evading. [Outro] Maybe one day I’ll see it clear, The worth in each moment I hold dear. Until then, I’ll chase what I can't grasp, In your love, I’ll continue to clasp.
