[Verse 1] I wear the weight like second skin, A silent place I’m safe within. When fleeting light begins to rise, I turn away from brighter skies. [Pre-Chorus] It follows close, a shadowed thread, A quiet voice inside my head. [Chorus] Lingering sadness, never far from me, A familiar ache that sets me free. I tried to leave, but it remains, A gentle comfort in the pain. [Verse 2] I trace the scars I’ve come to know, In their reflection, I still grow. Warmth feels distant, undefined, So I return to what is mine. [Pre-Chorus] A constant echo, soft yet clear, A presence whispering in my ear. [Chorus] Lingering sadness, never far from me, A familiar ache that sets me free. I tried to leave, but it remains, A gentle comfort in the pain. [Bridge] If healing comes, will I resist? Release the past or coexist? The unknown calls, yet I remain, Embraced within this quiet chain. [Final Chorus] Lingering sadness, woven into me, A haunting truth I’ve come to see. Though paths may change and time refrains, I find my solace in the pain. [Outro] A silent companion through the years, Familiar shadows, distant tears.
