Shadow Lies

Unacceptable
That's how you chose to call what we had
Now we greet and pretend we've never met
Before this

I still remember
Your little quirks showing up when you laughed
How they seemed to recede when you coughed
When you saw me

And everyone else around us knew
Something was wrong with me and you
There was another point of view behind this

Your shadow lies
Beside my own
And it cries
When there's no one home
Your shadow lies
Beside my own
And it dies
When left alone

Unattainable
You must think all those memories are fake
Just illusions that we must create
To kill the void

Cause you're afraid to try
To put away all those things you hide behind
There's too much pressure on you to decide
So will you run or stay?

When everyone else could not assume
Behind your smile there's something cruel
The glue on your mask was proof you weren't happy

Your shadow lies
Beside my own
And it cries
When there's no one home
Your shadow lies
Beside my own
And it dies
When left alone

There's nobody here to rescue you
When your mistakes surround the room
There's no escape but face the truth inside it

Your shadow lies
Beside my own
And it cries
When there's no one home
Your shadow lies
Beside my own
And it dies
When left alone
(Your shadow lies) Inside my own
And we cry
When there's no one home
(Your shadow lies) Inside my own
And we die
When we're left alone
