Shadow of Us

I see your shadow on the wall But when I reach, there's nothing there Your voice still lingers in the hall Like a memory lost in air I close my eyes, but you're still near A fading trace, but still so clear No matter how far I try to run Your shadow follows like the setting sun You're the shadow I can't erase A memory I still chase I turn around, but you remain Like a whisper in the rain No matter how much time goes by You're still the name I whisper at night You're the shadow, you're the shadow And I'll never let you go… Your photograph is torn in two Yet I still see you standing there Your fingertips still trace my skin Like a past that never disappears I close my eyes, but you're still near A fading trace, but still so clear No matter how far I try to run Your shadow follows like the setting sun You're the shadow I can't erase A memory I still chase I turn around, but you remain Like a whisper in the rain No matter how much time goes by You're still the name I whisper at night You're the shadow, you're the shadow And I'll never let you go… I see your silhouette in the mirror But when I blink, you're gone again Are you real, or am I broken... Guess I'll never know… I whisper your name to the night Hoping the stars will bring you back But shadows fade, and love still dies So why are you still here...
