“Ahh... ooooohhhh... mmm... Aaaaahhhh... oooooo... ohhhhh...” Verse 1 Underneath the pale moonlight, I’m pacing all alone, Heart is racing, thoughts are trailing, wishing you were home. Every silence weighs like thunder, dreams wrapped in despair, (But what if I’m just nothing? An echo in the air?) A thousand dreams hang by a thread, each moment feels so grand, Yet I linger in the shadows, knowing you don't understand. (Mmmm... ohhhh...) Pre-Chorus Caught in this beautiful moment, I’m frozen like a ghost, What if you never even see me, just a fleeting thought? What if my heart’s too broken, too heavy for your care? (What if love is just a joke, a burden too unfair?) (Uhhhh... mmm...) Chorus So I’ll paint my love in silence, let it drown beneath the night, Pretend it’s okay, that it’s better to stay, (What if you say no, and I’m lost from your sight?) Living in shadows, I’m settling for pain, This silence is my prison, where hope is left to wane. (Mmmmm... ahhh...) Verse 2 Glimmers of the sun remind me of the warmth I’ll never know, The laughter fades, and memories made feel like ashes in the snow. I picture us beneath the stars, but I’m trapped in endless gray, (What if all I have is yearning that will never find a way?) Every heartbeat whispers softly, but it only brings me tears, As courage slips right through my hands, consumed by all my fears. (Ohhh... mmm...) Bridge I watch the coffee steam, the warmth escapes my grasp, Each sip a bitter reminder of a love that will not last. I gather words like shattered glass, each shard a jagged ache, Will you shatter all my dreams? (Or leave me in the wake?) What if my heart’s a burden, heavy like the night? (What if I’m forever lost, a ghost without your light?) (Ahhhhh...) Chorus So I’ll paint my love in silence, guard my heart from all that’s real, Keep these feelings locked away, left to wither and conceal, (What if you look away and never even feel?) Drowning in shadows, I’ll surrender to the night, This silence is my sanctuary, where joy has lost the fight. (Mmmm... ohhh...) Ending Another night, another echo, I'll whisper to the stars, One final breath, but deep inside, I’m left with all these scars. So I’ll fold my dreams like paper, watch them drift away, (What if it’s too late now? What if love won’t stay?) What if I’m just an afterthought, an unfulfilled refrain? (What if you see me in the light, and know I’m filled with pain?) (Uhhhh... mmm...) Last Chorus, I promise! So I’ll paint my love in silence, as the darkness claims the light, Carrying this weight, love trapped within my plight, (What if you’ll never know me?) Dancing in shadows, I’ve resigned to what I see, Now I’ll close my eyes and dream of what can never be. (Ahhhh... mmm...)
