Shadow on the Wall

Lyrics

At the end of the day, watching the sun go down
I find myself standing here alone
When the moon lays its shadows on the ground
That's when my memories start to roam

Now there's an empty space beside me
Where I used to pull you close at night
And the quiet is the only thing
That gets me through till morning light

I am seen, though you don't see me
I am more than just a memory
I'm not a ghost, I'm not a shadow on the wall
I'm the one still standing after all
Alone, but somehow standing after all
You never saw the simple things

Lost inside your complexities
Even when your eyes were open
You refused to see the truth in me
When I spoke, you never heard me
When I broke, you didn't care
Every time I tried to reach you
It felt like speaking into empty air

I am seen, though you don't see me
I am more than just a memory
I'm not a ghost, I'm not a shadow on the wall
I'm the one still standing after all

We once made love in the morning light
But that fire faded far from sight
Now there's only reflections left of the me
You never recognized
And I'm finally saying my goodbyes

In the dark hush of the morning
Just before the rising sun
I finish up my dreaming
To see the world with eyes made new
Another long day comes and goes
But I'm breathing steady on my own

I am seen, though you don't see me
I am more than just a memory
I'm not a ghost, I'm not a shadow on the wall
I'm the one still standing after all

I see your face in the shadow of the moon
Flickering faint like an echo, fading soon
But it's fading, fading away

I'm not a ghost
I'm not a ghost
I'm not a ghost
Fading away
I'm not a ghost
