SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT

(Synth-pop / New Wave / Synthwave)

The coffee’s cold, the bed is wide
Nowhere for my heart to hide
Your ghost is lingering by the door
But you don’t live here anymore.

I see your face in every crowd
I scream your name, but not out loud
The silence hits me like a stone
I’m tired of being here alone.

I’m staring at the ceiling, burning up inside
Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide!

I’m reaching for a hand that isn’t there
Talking to a ghost who doesn’t care
You’re the ache I can’t erase
Just a shadow in your place
Left me breathing thin and empty air!

Yeah, empty air!

I saw your note from a year ago
It’s funny how the feelings grow
The ink stays fresh while we decay
Watching all the colors turn to gray.

I’m staring at the ceiling, burning up inside
Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide!

I’m reaching for a hand that isn’t there
Talking to a ghost who doesn’t care
You’re the ache I can’t erase
Just a shadow in your place
Left me breathing thin and empty air!

They told me time would bridge the gap
But I’m still stuck inside the trap
Of every "us" and every "we"
That you took back to set me free!

I’m reaching for a hand that isn’t there
Talking to a ghost who doesn’t care
You’re the ache I can’t erase
Just a shadow in your place
Left me breathing thin and empty air!

Just your echoes...
In the hall...
(Yeah, I’m all alone...)
