Just A Shadow

A heartbeat’s final fantasy the one it longs for

Cold and silent next to it

On that kitchen floor

Takes a knife to scrape it off

But blood stains stay behind

Just a shadow of the past that we left behind

We’re just a shadow

A memory faded with time

Sweet to taste but hard to think about

Not worth a dime

Please just leave this graveyard behind

So much life left to live

I’m not worth your time

Take your kids and wife, start your new life

Leave our love behind you

Just start over again

We’re just a shadow

A memory faded with time

Sweet to taste but hard to think about

Not worth a dime

It wasn’t our fault

That things went so wrong

But now it’s dead

And you’re moving on

Take the next plane

And leave us far behind

I’ll take the train

Just to let my memories die

We’re just a shadow

Faded with time

So sweet to taste

But makes me cry

Just a shadow
