[Verse 1]
Coffee cup on the counter
His boots still by the door
I hear that key in the lock
But he don’t walk in anymore
He ran from some kind of trouble
Said he “had to go, lay low”
Now it’s just me and this quiet
And a house that feels like smoke
[Chorus]
I’m chased by your shadow
Down this empty hallway
Call your name in the dark
But you’re already gone
Every room feels hollow
Every prayer falls shallow
Trying to find some peace
In a war that won’t move on
I’m chased by your shadow
Till the break of dawn
[Verse 2]
Neighbors talk on the front porch
Say he got what he deserved
But they never saw him shaking
Trying to find the right words
You left your coat in the closet
Tag still scratching my cheek
I sleep wrapped up in the sleeves
’Cause it’s the only way I breathe
[Chorus]
I’m chased by your shadow
Down this empty hallway
Call your name in the dark
But you’re already gone
Every room feels hollow
Every prayer falls shallow
Trying to find some peace
In a war that won’t move on
I’m chased by your shadow
Till the break of dawn
[Bridge]
If you walked up those steps
Said you’re tired, you’re done with running (oh)
Would my heart ever trust
Or just keep on coming undone
[Chorus]
I’m chased by your shadow
Down this empty hallway
Call your name in the dark
But you’re already gone
Every room feels hollow
Every prayer falls shallow
Trying to find some peace
In a war that won’t move on
I’m chased by your shadow
’Cause I don’t know how
To turn this hurt off and on
