The Ghosts Of Affection

Nothing nothing nothing nothing No touch no warmth! A heart left in the shadows cold, couldn't know the light She stands alone, a silhouette A well of tears, and she's lost in thought You see what I mean Empty rooms, hollow halls Echoes of laughter she never recalls No guiding hand, no tender smile She's been adrift for such a long while [Pre-Chorus] Never knew a lullaby, just silence thick and still Looking for that warmth, but she's climbing uphill In crowded streets (lonely streets) Strangers brush, no spark ignites An empty gaze in the neon night She moves unseen, just a ghostly sight [Chorus] Can't grasp what love is, it's a foreign tune A melody that's played by the fortunate few Windswept dreams (faded dreams) She chases echoes without a name Within her chest, a silent scream For the love she never claims Yet in the mirror (cracked mirror) A stranger's stare, she barely knows A world through a window, life passing by She watched from the sidelines with hollow eyes Strangers with smiles, she couldn’t construe Love’s tender touch, a feeling so new [Verse 3] Hiding in shadows, away from the sun Fragments of warmth, what she never won
