Shadows Between Us

[Verse 1] Back in the halls where the whispers grow, You threw your words like a shadowed blow. I kept my mask where the secrets stay, But you kept pushing me away. [Verse 2] Didn’t know the fear you hid inside, You fought your demons, I fought mine. Two kids trapped in the same dark place, Both haunted in our own strange ways. [Chorus] We were fire and gasoline, Lost boys stuck in a broken scene. You hated me ’cause you couldn’t run, And I saw myself in what you’d become. In a world where the truth dies fast, We were ghosts of a shattered past— But somehow, even through the pain, We learned we weren’t so different anyway. [Verse 3] Your father’s voice was a loaded gun, Your anger wasn’t really yours to run. I tried to reach you but you fought back hard, Like you were terrified of dropping your guard. [Pre-Chorus] We’re both cracked by the same dark town, Both afraid just to break down. Enemy lines drawn in chalk and fear— But you were never really the villain here. [Chorus] We were fire and gasoline, Lost boys stuck in a broken scene. You hated me ’cause you couldn’t run, And I saw myself in what you’d become. In a world where the truth dies fast, We were ghosts of a shattered past— But somehow, even through the pain, We learned we weren’t so different anyway. [Bridge] If I could go back, I’d tell you then, You didn’t have to fight me to let me in. We both deserved a place to heal, Something real, something real. [Final Chorus] We were fire and gasoline, Two lost hearts in a twisted dream. But in the smoke where we both stood strong, We proved the world had judged us wrong. In a story built on fear and lies, We still found a spark that wouldn’t die— ’Cause somehow, even through the pain, We learned we weren’t so different anyway.
