Lily's shadow Lyrics

She ordered a whiskey with no ice, no talk

There was something in the way she walked

Like she carried secrets only she could bear

And I knew right then, I'd follow her anywhere

She told me stories 'bout her hometown days

Said she missed the sunsets, those golden rays

Her name was Lily, but her smile held pain

Like she'd lost something she'd never regain

Sometimes when she smiles, her hands start to shake

Like she's holding onto something she's scared to break

Lily, you're here, but you're not

There's a piece of you missing, but I can't tell what

I hold you close, but you slip away

Like a dream I forget when I start my day

You're perfect, but there's something I just can't see

Lily, what are you hiding from me?

She spoke of the ocean, a place she once knew

A town she left behind, with skies so blue

Her voice was steady, never out of line

But I saw her walls crumble, one brick at a time

She said she's fine, but her smile's too tight

Like a star that fades in the quiet of night

She's standing close, but feels so far

Wrapped in the weight of an unseen scar

And every time we kiss, I feel something break

Like a crack in the moment, a tiny mistake

Lily, you're here, but you're not

There's a piece of you missing, but I can't tell what

I hold you close, but you slip away

Like a dream I forget when I start my day

You're perfect, but there's something I just can't see

Lily, what are you hiding from me?

We dance in the dark, but I'm chasing her ghost

She's the one I want, but the one I fear most

There's a part of her lost, somewhere I can't see

And I'm drowning in what she won't share with me

There's a part of her gone, a story untold

And I wonder if I'll ever break that hold

Lily, you're here, but you're not

There's a piece of you missing, but I can't tell what

I hold you close, but you slip away

Like a dream I forget when I start my day

You're perfect, but there's something I just can't see

Lily, what are you hiding from me?

Lily, I'm right here, but you're out of reach

Like the waves that slip away from the beach

You're here, but gone, just out of touch

Lily, why do I feel like I'm chasing too much?
