Still Your Shadow

Verse 1

Your jacket’s still hanging by the door

Like you’re coming back—like before

I don’t touch it, but I don’t move it

Guess I’m scared of proving you’re gone

You said we’d talk when things cooled down

Funny how silence is the loudest sound

I replay every word you said

Trying to find where it all went dead

Pre-Chorus

You packed your bags like you were free

Left me here with the half of me

Chorus

I’m still your shadow in an empty room

Still breaking over things we used to do

You moved on fast, I’m stuck in place

Learning how to live with your absence

You don’t miss me, I can tell

You look relieved—I look like hell

I let you go, but it’s still true

I’m still haunted by you

Verse 2

Your friends don’t look me in the eye

Like they know something I don’t, right?

You tell them I was “hard to love”

I was just asking for enough

I bit my tongue, I played it cool

I bent myself to fit your rules

Now I don’t know who I became

Loving you felt like a losing game

Pre-Chorus

You say you needed time alone

Guess that meant time without us both

Chorus

I’m still your shadow in an empty room

Still breaking over things we used to do

You moved on fast, I’m stuck in place

Learning how to live with your absence

You don’t miss me, I can tell

You look relieved—I look like hell

I let you go, but it’s still true

I’m still haunted by you

Bridge (half-time, cracked voice)

I don’t hate you, that’s the worst part

I still hope you’re doing alright

I’d burn these feelings if I could

But pain’s the only thing that proves you mattered

Breakdown

Say my name

Just once

Even if it’s

Only dust

Final Chorus (bigger, desperate)

I’m still your shadow, fading slow

Still loving someone you outgrew

You found peace, I found the truth

I gave you all I had to lose

You don’t miss me, I can tell

You’re moving on, I’m learning how to fall

I let you go, but it’s still true

I’m still haunted by you

Outro

One day I’ll wake and you won’t hurt

Tonight I’m just doing what I can to not revert
