Shallow Avenue

[Verse 1] I walk alone in the city night (city night) A sea of strangers, a distant light Their smiles are hiding, the emptiness inside They're chasing validation, but it's hard to find (hard to find) Their eyes are searching, for a love that's real But it's hard to connect, when we're trapped in our own feel We're living for the moment, but it's just a disguise (just a disguise) For the fear of being alone, and the love we've never known [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the silence is deafening, the noise is all I hear (all I hear) [Chorus] Welcome to Shallow Avenue, where love is just a dream (just a dream) We're all just players, in a game we can't seem to win We're searching for a connection, but it's hard to find (hard to find) In this world of shallow dreams, we're losing our minds [Verse 2] Conversations are shallow, just a bunch of empty words (empty words) We're hiding behind filters, and masks that we've heard We're living in a bubble, where reality is blurred (reality is blurred) We're chasing likes and followers, but it's just a smokescreen We're trying to fit in, but it's just a disguise For the fear of being alone, and the love we've never known (never known) We're searching for a connection, but it's hard to find In this world of shallow dreams, we're losing our minds (losing our minds) [Chorus] Welcome to Shallow Avenue, where love is just a dream (just a dream) We're all just players, in a game we can't seem to win We're searching for a connection, but it's hard to find (hard to find) In this world of shallow dreams, we're losing our minds [Bridge] But sometimes in the silence, I hear a whisper in my ear (in my ear) A voice that's calling out, for something real, something clear A longing for authenticity, for a love that's true A chance to break free, from this shallow avenue (avenue) [Pre-Chorus] [x4] Oh, the silence is deafening, the noise is all I hear (all I hear) [Outro] Welcome to Shallow Avenue, where love is just a dream (just a dream) We're all just players, in a game we can't seem to win We're searching for a connection, but it's hard to find (hard to find) In this world of shallow dreams, we're losing our minds
