Lyrics

Silhouette

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I’m tired of waking up in tears

‘Cause I can’t put to bed these phobias and fears

I’m new to this grief I can’t explain

But I’m no stranger to the heartache and the pain

The fire I began is burning me alive

But I know better than to leave and let it die

I’m a silhouette

Asking every now and then

Is it over yet?

Will I ever feel again?

I’m a silhouette

Chasing rainbows on my own

But the more I try to move on

The more I feel alone

So I’ll watch the summer stars to lead me home

I’m sick of the past I can’t erase

A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can’t retrace

The mountain of things I still regret

I s a vile reminder that I would rather just forget

(No matter where I go)

The fire I began is burning me alive

But I know better than to leave and let it die

I’m a silhouette

Asking every now and then

Is it over yet?

Will I ever smile again?

I’m a silhouette

Chasing rainbows on my own

But the more I try to move on

The more I feel alone

So I’ll watch the summer stars to lead me home

‘Cause I walk alone

(No matter where I go)

‘Cause I walk alone

(No matter where I go)

‘Cause I walk alone

(No matter where I go)

I’m a silhouette

Asking every now and then

Is it over yet?

Will I ever love again?

I’m a silhouette

Chasing rainbows on my own

But the more I try to move on

The more I feel alone

So I’ll watch the summer stars to lead me home

So I’ll watch the summer stars to lead me home
