Shadows of me

Verse 1) I see you’re playing house again

With someone new, a "perfect" friend

Does she know how you take your coffee?

Or is she just a ghost of me?

I heard you’re smiling, or so they say

But does that smile fade at the end of the day?

(Pre-Chorus) ’Cause I remember the way you used to lean on me

When the world got loud and you couldn't breathe

Now you’re leaning on her, yeah, you’re acting free

But tell me, baby, is she everything you need?

(Chorus) Does she hold you close when the night gets cold?

Does she keep the secrets that we never told?

Does she treat you right, like I used to do?

Or is she just a lie that you’re telling you?

I’m not bitter, baby, maybe just a little blue

Wondering if she’s really better... or just new.

(Verse 2) Does she notice when your voice gets low?

The little signs that you’re about to go?

I gave you pieces of my soul to keep

While you were shallow, I was diving deep.

Now you’re with her, and I’m just a memory

But can she love the parts you hid from me?

(Bridge) It’s a lonely rhythm, this R&B vibe

Trying to keep my dignity alive

But I’ve got this fire, and I’ve got this ache

How many "forevers" does it take to break?

(Guitar Solo - Slow, distorted, moody) (Chorus) Does she hold you close when the night gets cold?

Does she keep the secrets that we never told?

Does she treat you right, like I used to do?

Or is she just a lie that you’re telling you?

(Outro) Does she...

Does she really know you?

Like I did.

Like I still do.
