Verse 1:
I see you in the crowded room, glancing my way,
But your eyes turn cold when I try to say hey.
I’m chasing dreams of us, but you keep fading away,
Every 'hello' feels like a game we don’t play.
Chorus:
Chasing shadows, where you used to be,
Holding on to moments, you’re just a ghost to me.
I’m running in circles, can’t set my heart free,
Why can't you see, why can't you see?
Verse 2:
Late nights texting, still no reply,
I put all my cards out, I’m ready to try.
But you pull back like it’s all just a lie,
I chase the sunlight, but it’s buried in the sky.
Chorus:
Chasing shadows, where you used to be,
Holding on to moments, you’re just a ghost to me.
I’m running in circles, can’t set my heart free,
Why can't you see, why can't you see?
Bridge:
Every smile feels like a promise unkept,
While your laughter haunts me like secrets you’ve slept.
I’ll keep reaching out, even if it’s a test,
But I’m losing my grip, baby, what’s the next step?
Chorus:
Chasing shadows, where you used to be,
Holding on to moments, you’re just a ghost to me.
I’m running in circles, can’t set my heart free,
Why can't you see, why can't you see?
Outro:
So I’ll keep chasing, in this endless race,
Hoping one day you’ll turn and see my face.
But for now, it’s shadows, you’re a distant trace,
Caught in this longing, in a loveless space.
