Waiting in the Shadows

You came into my life, turned the gray to gold Made me feel alive in ways I'd never known no For a while, we danced, you were my reason why But you said you weren't ready, I told you I'd give you time Now I'm waiting in the shadows, watching you drift away You laugh with someone else, and I wonder if I'll ever stay I'm holding on, but I'm slipping through You don't see me like you used to do Every smile you give, it's not for me And I'm just a ghost of what we used to be I love you more than you'll ever know But I'm losing hope as you let me go Waiting in the shadows, where I always stand Hoping that you'll see me, reach out for my hand You're out with him, and I'm standing by Watching you fall for another guy He doesn't see you like I see your heart But I'd never tell you, I wouldn't tear you apart, apart I'll be your friend, I'll be your silent song But deep down, I know I don't belong, belong I'm holding on, but I'm slipping through You don't see me like you used to do Every smile you give, it's not for me And I'm just a ghost of what we used to be I love you more than you'll ever know But I'm losing hope as you let me go Waiting in the shadows, where I always stand Hoping that you'll see me, reach out for my hand Maybe one day you'll look my way But every day, you're drifting further away I wish I mattered like I did before But now I'm just someone you can't ignore Can't ignore I'm holding on, but I'm slipping through You don't see me like you used to do Every smile you give, it's not for me And I'm just a ghost of what we used to be I love you more than you'll ever know But I'm losing hope as you let me go Waiting in the shadows, where I always stand Hoping that you'll see me, reach out for my hand Girl i'm losing hope, as you let me go Waiting in the shadows, where I always stand Hoping that you'll see me, reach out for my hand
