Shadows Between the Lines

[Intro] Dust on the letters, a neon glare on the wall I’m counting weeks in ash, I’m tracing where you fall [Verse 1] Told myself the storm would fade with the rain But every quiet room still calls your name Shattered rings on the dresser like a broken crown I wear the filter of your lies, then watch it break down [Pre-Chorus] If memory lies, why does it burn so true? I’m chasing echoes that never spoke back to me and you [Chorus] I’m holding onto a shadow of us, gone mute and cold Questioning every heartbeat that I used to call bold Are these feelings proof or am I fooling myself again? I’m reading the cold between the lines I can’t bend [Verse 2] The clock keeps spinning, but your touch won’t return I etched your name in frost, now it’s a lesson learned I built a harbor from your praise, it sank in the tide All the warm words turn to knives when they collide [Pre-Chorus] If memory lies, why does it burn so bright? Truth wears a quiet smile while I’m losing the night [Chorus] I’m holding onto a shadow of us, gone mute and cold Questioning every heartbeat that I used to call bold Are these feelings proof or am I fooling myself again? I’m reading the cold between the lines I can’t bend [Bridge] Was it love or the idea I needed to survive? If the picture’s cracked, can I still call it alive? [Chorus] I’m holding onto a shadow of us, gone mute and cold Questioning every heartbeat that I used to call bold Are these feelings proof or am I fooling myself again? I’m reading the cold between the lines I can’t bend [Outro] Maybe memory’s just a ghost in the rain A hollow crown that forgets how to name the pain
