Fading In Your Shadow

[Chorus] I was there when you were breaking I was there when you couldn’t breathe Gave you everything I had But you never saw me I was close but never chosen Fading in your shadow slowly You were everything to me But you never saw me [Verse 1] Late night calls, your voice shaking I stayed up till the silence faded Every word you couldn’t say I carried it, I took the weight You were looking past my shoulder At a love that left you colder I was right here in the dark Holding pieces of your heart [Pre-Chorus] I never asked you for anything Just to feel like I was something But you never turned around Never heard a single sound [Chorus] I was there when you were breaking I was there when you couldn’t breathe Gave you everything I had But you never saw me I was close but never chosen Fading in your shadow slowly You were everything to me But you never saw me [Verse 2] I memorized your every silence Learned your pain without you saying it Every scar you tried to hide I could see it in your eyes But you were chasing someone distant While I stood there, always present Like a ghost inside your world Loving you but never heard [Pre-Chorus 2] I was fading more each night Standing right there in your light You were reaching somewhere else While I was losing myself [Chorus] I was there when you were breaking I was there when you couldn’t breathe Gave you everything I had But you never saw me I was close but never chosen Fading in your shadow slowly You were everything to me But you never saw me [Bridge] Maybe I was just too quiet Maybe love like mine stays silent Maybe I was never meant To be the one you’d understand Still I stayed through every fall Gave you more than I could hold Now there’s nothing left of me Just the echo you don’t see [Final Chorus] I was there when you were breaking I was there when you couldn’t breathe Gave you everything I had But you never saw me I was close but never chosen Now I’m gone and you don’t know me You were everything to me But you never saw me
