Silhouette on my bedroom wall
You move when I move
Hands tracing shapes that fall apart
Like we always do
Are you here
Or just the echo of yesterday
I reach out
You keep slipping away
It’s a shadow play
You’re there then gone
Then there halfway
I chase your face in the dark
But I only catch the afterimage of your heart
It’s a shadow play
Same old scene on a different day
I swear I feel your breath on my skin
But I’m holding air again
Coffee cup with your lipstick ghost
Still on the shelf
Talk to the chair where you used to sit
I’m fooling myself
Every night
I let the curtains fall the same
Say your name
And wait for you in the frame
It’s a shadow play
You’re there then gone
Then there halfway
I chase your face in the dark
But I only catch the afterimage of your heart
It’s a shadow play
Same old scene on a different day
I swear I feel your breath on my skin
But I’m holding air again
Maybe you were never really mine
Just light and angles
Tricks of time
But I stay
I stay
I stay
For another shadow play
It’s a shadow play
You’re there then gone
Then there halfway
I chase your face in the dark
But I only catch the afterimage of your heart
It’s a shadow play
Fade to black as the memories fray
I bow out to an empty room
Still dancing with the outline of you
