Just a Shadow

I see the photos, your perfect home,

She’s by your side, you’re not alone.

We’ll never touch, never cross that line,

But on the phone, I’m yours, and you’re mine.

I’m just a shadow in your secret life,

Dreaming of being the one by your side.

I fell for you, though I know it’s a lie,

Loving you, while you love your wife.

Your words are flames that burn through the screen,

A life we live, but I’ll never see.

Mine’s a name you’ll never say out loud,

I wipe my tears and try not to drown.

I’m just a shadow in your secret life,

Dreaming of being the one by your side.

I fell for you, though I know it’s a lie,

Loving you, while you love your wife.

The love I’ve built in my own head,

I'm not the one sleepin' in your bed.

I’m breaking my own heart with every call,

Loving someone.... who can’t love me at all.

I’m just a shadow in your secret life,

Dreaming of being the one by your side.

I fell for you, though I know it’s a lie,

Loving you, while you love your wife.

So I’ll hang up and turn off the light,

Let you go back to her, like every night.

You’ll never kiss me the way I want you to,

I’m just a shadow... in love with you.
