A haunting ballad that delves deep into feelings of powerlessness and despair, 'In the Shadow of Her Tears' paints a vivid picture of a son watching his mother suffer. The poignant lyrics explore the raw emotions of helplessness and uselessness, evoking deep empathy as they reflect on familial bonds and the pain of being unable to ease a loved one's suffering.
Verse 1:
In the quiet of the night, I listen to the sighs,
A mother’s heart breaking, beneath the starry skies.
Her eyes, they tell the stories, of burdens she must bear,
I stand here in the shadows, feeling lost in my despair.
Chorus:
Oh, I’m just a good for nothing, in a world that’s lost its way,
Watching her drown in heartache, as the colors fade to gray.
I reach for all the words, but they stumble on my tongue,
Powerless to save her, like a song that’s left unsung.
Verse 2:
The echoes of her laughter, now whispers in the dark,
The dreams she used to hold, now only leave a mark.
I wish I could be stronger, to carry all her weight,
But I’m just a shadow lingered, in the sorrow and the hate.
Chorus:
Oh, I’m just a good for nothing, in a world that’s lost its way,
Watching her drown in heartache, as the colors fade to gray.
I reach for all the words, but they stumble on my tongue,
Powerless to save her, like a song that’s left unsung.
Bridge:
Each tear that falls reminds me, of the love that’s left behind,
The hours spent in silence, where our voices used to bind.
I want to scream her name, but the words just fall apart,
A symphony of longing, wrapped around my heart.
Chorus:
Oh, I’m just a good for nothing, in a world that’s lost its way,
Watching her drown in heartache, as the colors fade to gray.
I reach for all the words, but they stumble on my tongue,
Powerless to save her, like a song that’s left unsung.
Outro:
So I’ll stand here in the shadows, till the stars begin to fade,
With every breath I take, another promise made.
To love her while I’m living, though my heart has lost its fight,
In the shadow of her tears, I’ll be a flicker in the night.
