Lily's shadow

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
