Painted Shadows

Written: May 17th, 2022

Genre: Electropop

1ST VERSE:

In the painted shadows of my heart,

A love story begins to start,

I never thought I'd feel this way,

But here I am, falling every day

PRE-CHORUS:

You came into my life like a ray of light,

Chasing away the darkness of the night,

With every word you speak,

My heart beats anew,

I can't deny my feelings for you,

They're true.

CHORUS:

I love you,

Oh,

I love you,

Every moment with you feels brand new

In your arms, I found my happiness

Together, we'll conquer any storm,

Any mess.

VERSE 2:

Like a masterpiece of gold,

Our love unfolds,

Every scar and little flaw,

Our story holds like I held our pride,

You see the beauty within me so deep,

And in your arms,

Your heart is mine to keep.

CHORUS:

I love you,

Oh,

I love you,

Every moment with you feels brand new

In your arms, I found my happiness

Together, we'll conquer any storm,

Any mess.

BRIDGE:

In the painted shadows of the dark,

You'll always be there to hold me in your arms,

You're gold, I'm silver

Together, we can make a masterpiece of love

And in the painted shadows of my heart

We'll be holding on forever

OUTRO:

As we dance beneath the moonlit sky,

I can't help but wonder why

Out of all the people in this world so vast,

You were the one to capture my heart so fast.

~ AUTHOR'S NOTE ~

And that was Painted Shadows! Yeah, this song is literally just about love, rhyming, and painting shadows, and I was just really obsessed with someone, lol.

Tbh, I found this draft on a piece of paper in a box under my bed along with MANY other drafts, and so I went back on it, got rid of things, added things, and just edited it overall.

For example, if I didn't edit this draft/song, there wouldn't be an outro, I just added it, lol.

I wrote this song back when I thought I was bisexual/biromantic, but in late November 2023, I discovered I was pansexual panromantic, so I thought I could only like boys and girls.

And if you're wondering, this song is not about the guy that I'm currently in a situationship with because I just met him in 2023.

This song is about a girl or boy (I don't really remember the draft my thirteen year old self wrote didn't specify, but probably a boy because my thirteen year old self had a preference for guys) that I met, and we kinda dated? It doesn't matter, but I was tripping onto my heels over my head in love for this person. I was SWOONING.

Anyways, I'm sorry for this long of an author's note. I hope you enjoyed 'Painted Shadows', because they are more to come!
