Shadows Of My Past

Sitting in a crowded room, but I'm alone, Faces pass me by, just ghosts I've never known. Memories of younger days, when friends were easy to find, Now the years have slipped away, and I'm left far behind. Chorus It's hard to find a hand to hold, when you're older and the nights are cold, Loneliness, it creeps inside, whispers that my time has died. But I'll get out there, I will try, to fight the fear and say goodbye, To the shadows of my past, and maybe find a friend at last. Verse 2 Every conversation starts to feel the same, Talking 'bout the weather, avoiding all the pain. Dreams of laughter shared, secrets in the night, Now I'm standing on the edge, ready for the fight. Chorus It's hard to find a hand to hold, when you're older and the nights are cold, Loneliness, it creeps inside, whispers that my time has died. But I'll get out there, I will try, to fight the fear and say goodbye, To the shadows of my past, and maybe find a friend at last. Bridge I'll take a step, I'll take a chance, I'll break the silence, start the dance. Though I might fall, though I might fail, I'll brave the storm, set my own sail. Verse 3 Walking through the open door, a heart that's full of doubt, But I'll keep on reaching out, that's what life's about. Every smile, every glance, a sparkle in the dark, Maybe there's a kindred soul, waiting for a spark. Chorus It's hard to find a hand to hold, when you're older and the nights are cold, Loneliness, it creeps inside, whispers that my time has died. But I'll get out there, I will try, to fight the fear and say goodbye, To the shadows of my past, and maybe find a friend at last. Outro In the end, it's all we seek, a friend to hold when nights are bleak, So I'll keep on, I'll never cease, till I find my own sweet peace. To the shadows of my past, I'll say goodbye, and find a friend at last.
