I wore your shadow like a second skin
It whispered secrets
Pulled me in
Your words were knives
Your touch was glue
I bled
I stuck
I came unglued

Shattered stars
Falling slow
Pieces of us
Don’t they glow
A thousand cuts
A million scars
We loved
We lost
We shattered stars

You kissed like thunder
You left like rain
Each drop a story
Each flash a pain
I held the storm
I called it home
Now I’m the wreck
I’m the cyclone

And I can’t forget
I won’t forgive
This is the ghost where I used to live

Shattered stars
Falling slow
Pieces of us
Don’t they glow
A thousand cuts
A million scars
We loved
We lost
We shattered stars

You said forever
Forever lied
Forever broke
Forever died
I screamed at the sky
The moon just stared
Guess even the cosmos never cared

Shattered stars
Falling slow
Pieces of us
Don’t they glow
A thousand cuts
A million scars
We loved
We lost
We shattered stars

This is my life I’m in a band
Whatever comes I play my hand
The music’s all, the days are long
My bed’s unmade and I’m not strong

Wake up late, clothes on the floor
Missed my bus, same old war
Heart’s out of tune, luck’s offbeat
Stage lights burn, no time to sleep

Crowd’s a blur, noise in my chest
Love’s a ghost I can’t express
Texts unread, bills unpaid
Running wild through the mess I’ve made

When will it get better?
When do I slow down?
Racing through the thunder
While the world spins me around
I keep chasing something
That I can’t remember
When will it, when will it,
When will it get better?

Neon buzz, cracked guitar
Another town, another scar
Promises fade in bar room smoke
Every vow just another joke

Fast talk, late night drives
Chasing ghosts through flashing lights
Lost my calm, lost my way
Still I show up, still I play

Empty bar, broken strings
Every song still hurts and stings
I laugh aloud, hide the ache
One more night for one more break

When will it get better?
When do I slow down?
Racing through the thunder
While the world spins me around
I keep chasing something
That I can’t remember
When will it, when will it,
When will it get better?

Skinned my knuckles, blood on strings
Nothing lasts, that’s the thing
Someday soon I’ll find the sound
That finally slows this life down

When will it get better?
When do I slow down?
Racing through the thunder
While the world spins me around
I keep chasing something
That I can’t remember
When will it, when will it,
When will it get better?

Heartbeat drums, I can’t lie
I keep running, don’t know why
Maybe someday I’ll feel fine
Till then. Till then. Till then
This life’s mine

A flame once bright now fades to grey
Whispers lost in yesterday
Ashes fall where we once stood tall

I call your name it floats away
A ghost in the wind that won’t obey

Falling embers
They burn my soul
A heart that remembers
A love untold
Every spark a story
Every glow a pain
Falling embers
Caught in the rain

Your shadow lingers on the wall
Silent echoes
They rise then fall
Time won’t mend what’s ripped apart

Did you feel the fire die
Or hear the last goodbye
I’m chasing smoke under an empty sky

Falling embers
They burn my soul
A heart that remembers
A love untold
Every spark a story
Every glow a pain
Falling embers
Caught in the rain

The sun crawls up like it's been here forever
Shadows stretch
Try to pull me together
I hear your breath
It's quiet
It's close
But your silence screams louder than most

I count the cracks in the ceiling above
Where do you go when you leave our love

Where have you been? Where do you hide?
What’s in your eyes that you keep inside?
You’re here but you're not
You’re close but you're gone
Tell me
Tell me
Where do you run

The clock keeps ticking but it don’t move time
Your shoes by the door but they don’t feel like mine
The coffee’s cold but your touch burns my skin
I want the truth but you won’t let me in

Your heart’s a room with a locked-up door
I’m standing outside
Can’t take any more

Where have you been? Where do you hide?
What’s in your eyes that you keep inside?
You’re here but you're not
You’re close but you're gone
Tell me
Tell me
Where do you run

I found your sweater under my bed
Still smells like lies and cigarettes
Threads unravel like the words you said

Your ghost haunts the mirror
Every crack feels clearer

Fading Polaroids in my hand
Pictures of us I can't understand
Was it real or just pretend
Fading Polaroids
No way to mend

The moon mocks me with its silver grin
Streetlights flicker where the dark begins
My heart's a war and I never win

Your voice in the static
Cuts like a habit

Fading Polaroids in my hand
Pictures of us I can't understand
Was it real or just pretend
Fading Polaroids
No way to mend

Oh
I haven't got time for this
I've gotta take my dog to the vet
My mum's on the phone
She's in an argument
My friends need a ride
I gotta pay the rent

Then again
If you just come back
I could cancel all that

Oh
You left me
I thought you'd stay
I said I love you
You walked away

Oh
I haven't got time for this
My car needs a wash
It's tyres are soft
My internet's down
I gotta sort out the loft
The dinner needs cooking
I'm behind on my chores
So help me god
I've got pain in my bones

Then again
If you just come back
I could cancel all that

Oh
You left me
I thought you'd stay
I said I love you
You walked away

Oh
I haven't got time for this
I've gotta take my dog to the vet
My mum's on the phone
She's in an argument
My friends need a ride
I gotta pay the rent

Then again
If you just come back
I could cancel all that

Oh
You left me
I thought you'd stay
I said I love you
You walked away

Oh
I haven't got time for this
My car needs a wash
It's tyres are soft
My internet's down
I gotta sort out the loft
The dinner needs cooking
I'm behind on my chores
So help me god
I've got pain in my bones

Then again
If you just come back
I could cancel all that

Oh
I haven't got time for this
My car needs a wash
It's tyres are soft
My internet's down
I gotta sort out the loft
The dinner needs cooking
I'm behind on my chores
So help me god
I've got pain in my bones

Oh
You left me
I thought you'd stay
I said I love you
You walked away

Then again
If you just come back
I could cancel all that

She left her shadow on my wall
A faded ghost
A quiet call
Every whisper sounds like her name
Nothing here feels the same

Falling to nowhere
No one to hold
The night is so heavy
The bed is so cold
She’s gone
She’s gone
She’s gone away
And I’m stuck in yesterday

The moonlight cuts like shattered glass
Each second’s slower than the last
The stars don’t shine
They burn and sting
Her absence is everything

I scream her name into the dark
But the echo breaks my heart

Falling to nowhere
No one to hold
The night is so heavy
The bed is so cold
She’s gone
She’s gone
She’s gone away
And I’m stuck in yesterday

Tell me how to feel alive
When every breath is a goodbye
Love’s a cruel and twisted game
Leaves you broken
Leaves you blamed

Here I sit at the edge of the day
Hands are still, thoughts run away
Time slips through like broken glass
And I keep asking, will this pass?

The coffee's cold, the silence warm
I count the tiles which line the floor
Was it always meant to feel like this
Half a life behind a door?

Will you come?
Or am I just waiting in the rain?
Will you come?
Or is this all just part of a game?
I spend my life waiting, but for what?
A knock that never comes, a name that time forgot

The seasons change, the chair stays still
My shadow growing thin and long
I speak in sighs and ifs and whens
To no one, like it's a song

And maybe hope's just habit now
A rhythm too deep to quit
But every breath I hold for you
Is a breath I'm starting to regret

Will you come?
Or am I just waiting in the rain?
Will you come?
Or is this all just part of a game?
I spend my life waiting, but for what?
A knock that never comes, a name that time forgot

Maybe the waiting is all that I know
Maybe I'm scared to just let go
But the wind whispers things I can't say
Like leave now or stay

I set a place, I pour the tea
For someone who’s not coming back to me
And still I sit, and still I wait
Maybe that’s just my escape

Maybe the waiting's all I’ve got
Maybe I don’t know how to stop
But the wind keeps whispering things like go
And I pretend it’s just for show

Will you come?
Or am I just waiting in the rain?
Will you come?
Or is this all just part of a game?
I spend my life waiting, but for what?
A dream I never touched, a door that won't unlock

There’s a painting on the wall, where a river carves a seam
Sunlight on the water where the shadows used to be
I trace the brushstrokes softly, like your laughter in the air
You’re gone but in the ripples, I still find you there

The river gorge is calling, through the mist and time
I hear your voice in echoes, beneath the ancient pines
The water keeps on singing, the same old silver song
But you’re not here beside me, the current moves along

We walked down to the bank where the moss grew on the stone
You swore the world was endless, I never felt alone
Now all that’s left is canvas, and the memory of your hand
A painted bit of heaven, I can almost understand

The river gorge is calling, through the mist and time
I hear your voice in echoes, beneath the ancient pine
The water keeps on singing, the same old silver song
But you’re not here beside me, the current moves along

The rain falls on the valley, soft as your goodbye
The clouds drift by in silence, like years that pass me by
If love could live in colours, I’d paint you here again
But all I have are memories, and this endless, tender pain

The river gorge is calling, I stand here all alone
The river still remembers the laughter we had sown
The water keeps on shining, though the light has changed its form
And I’m still by that river, just you’re not here anymore

There’s a painting on the wall, where a river carves a seam
And somewhere in the distance, you’re part of what has been

I painted skies with your name in blue
Thought the stars whispered we were true
But your silence screamed louder
It grew

I gave my heart a rented room
You left it empty
Swept with your broom

Just an infatuation
A spark that burned too fast
I thought I loved you deeply
But it was never meant to last
Just an infatuation
A mirror that cracked in two
It wasn't love
It couldn't be
Cause you didn't love me too
Love me too

I chased shadows
Your ghost in the haze
Built dreams on quicksand
A foolish maze
Every step I took led me further astray

I was the echo
You were the void
A hollow song that I destroyed
You can't lose what you never had
But losing you still made me mad

Just an infatuation
A spark that burned too fast
I thought I loved you deeply
But it was never meant to last
Just an infatuation
A mirror that cracked in two
It wasn't love
It couldn't be

I painted skies with your name in blue
Thought the stars whispered we were true
But your silence screamed louder
I thought it grew

I gave my heart a rented room
You left it empty
Swept with your broom

Just an infatuation
A spark that burned too fast
I thought I loved you deeply
But it was never meant to last
Just an infatuation
A mirror that cracked in two
It wasn't love
It couldn't be
Cause you didn't love me too
Cause you didn't love me too
Cause you didn't love me too
Cause you didn't love me too

Life's a maze it twists it bends
I build some stairs, they just descend
Climbing high the ground caves in
The joke's on me where do I begin

I write the rules but they erase
Chasing shadows in the race

Life twists again it spins me round
Up feels like down no solid ground
I think I’ve won but it’s all pretend
Life twists again and again my friend

I pack my bags the road's a lie
The map's a puzzle I can't untie
A straight line turns into a curl
This is the ride welcome to my world

Is it fate or just a game
It laughs out loud it calls my name
I try to lead it drags me back
The path ahead fades to black

Life twists again it spins me round
Up feels like down no solid ground
I think I’ve won but it’s all pretend
Life twists again and again my friend

Life's a maze it twists it bends
I build a bridge it just descends
Climbing high the ground caves in
The joke's on me where do I begin

I write the rules but they erase
Chasing shadows in the race

Life twists again it spins me round
Up feels like down no solid ground
I think I’ve won but it’s all pretend
Life twists again and again my friend

Sitting here quietly
Listening to a melody
Each note’s a thread
It pulls me tight
Memories of you
Lost in the night

Thinking of you
Thinking of you
Every beat
Every breath
It's all I do
The world spins on but I’m stuck here
Thinking of you
Wishing you were near

The shadows dance on these empty walls
The clock ticks loud but the silence calls
I see your face in the fading glow
A picture framed in the music's flow

Time moves slow
Like a broken song
Without you here
It feels all wrong

Thinking of you
Thinking of you
Every beat
Every breath
It's all I do
The world spins on but I’m stuck here
Thinking of you
Wishing you were near

If I could rewind
I’d play it all back
Erase the static
Find the right track
But all I have is this melody
A loop of love and what used to be

Thinking of you
Thinking of you
Every beat
Every breath
It's all I do
The world spins on but I’m stuck here
Thinking of you
Wishing you were near
