You don’t walk—you glide
Through my mind, every night
Every whisper, every stare
Feels like smoke in velvet air
You say nothing, but I feel
The edges of something real
And I chase it through the dark
Like a thief chasing a spark
This is shadowplay
Where you show, then slip away
Where I reach, but never hold
Where it’s warm, then turns cold
You dance just out of frame
Say my name, then play the game
This is love, this is delay
This is night dressed up as day
You’re a secret with a smile
A slow burn dressed in style
You're not love, you're not fear
You're the echo that draws me near
I don’t trust, but I obey
Every look you throw my way
This is shadowplay
Where you show, then slip away
Where I reach, but never hold
Where it’s warm, then turns cold
You dance just out of frame
Say my name, then play the game
This is want, this is decay
This is what you never say
Tell me nothing
Let me guess
Leave me wondering
But never less
You’re the line I can’t erase
But I still trace
This is shadowplay
Where I stay, though I can't stay
You’re the thrill I can't define
A fever I call mine
You move like it’s pretend
But I break again and again
This is night, this is delay
This is me, still watching you fade
is me, still watching you fade
