Shadows in my view

[piano instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Dark skies, city of dreams, where the lights blind, Streets cold, we're chasing echoes, in the night time, Visions of a better place, escape, gotta find mine, Dreams heavy on the throttle, life's a steep climb. [Chorus] Are you really here for me, or just passing through? Talk of forever, yet your touch feels so new. Shed the masks, drop the act, let the real seep through, Every shadow casts a doubt, what are we to do? [Verse 2] Hometown hero, but the city’s got no heart, Promises break like waves, tearing us apart. Lost friends to the game, it's a deadly art, In the silence of the aftermath, who plays the part? [Bridge] I'm not just another story, painted in regret, Through the pain, through the glory, my path is set. In the mirror, reflections of a sunset, But I'm not done yet, got more chapters left. [Chorus] Are you really here for me, or just passing through? Talk of forever, yet your touch feels so new. Shed the masks, drop the act, let the real seep through, Every shadow casts a doubt, what are we to do? [piano instrumentals only] [Chorus, soulfully sang] Are you really here for me, or just passing through? Talk of forever, yet your touch feels so new. Shed the masks, drop the act, let the real seep through, Every shadow casts a doubt, what are we to do? [Outro] Walking past places where we used to laugh, Miss those gone too soon, each memory a photograph. This road's getting tougher, but I'm trying to stay strong, In the quiet moments, I still hear their song.
