Shadows on the Wall

Lights are low, the silence calls,

Your shadow's dancin' on my walls.

You're gone but never gone from here,

Every corner hums your voice so clear.

Even my mirror shows your eyes,

Haunted love in disguise.

Shadows on the wall, won't let me be,

Every shape reminds me of what used to be.

I close my eyes, but I still see it all,

You and me - just shadows on the wall.

The clock still ticks our old time,

Each second's crime feels like mine.

Even the bed holds your perfume,

And I'm livin' in this ghost-filled room.

Shadows on the wall, won't let me free,

Every night they whisper back to me.

I try to move on, I try to stand tall,

But love's still carved in shadows on the wall.

I could paint 'em over, change the hue,

But every shade turns back to you.

Shadows on the wall, my curse, my call,

Can't hide from what made me fall.

You're gone, but you still crawl,

Through these shadows on my wall.

Turn off the lights - maybe then you'll fade,

But even darkness wears your shade.
