We parted

[Intro] [Verse ] We parted ways like trains on separate tracks, You stepped into the light, while I stayed back in the shadows. Even the air here feels different now, As if the city whispers, “You’re just a passerby.” [Chorus] I’m standing here, and this neon cuts through my eyes, I can’t pretend anymore that everything’s fine. You’re just a shadow on the wet pavement now, And I keep trying to catch what’s long gone somehow. What’s long gone… [Verse ] I turn the lights on, but the rooms stay dim, Like the shadows hold on tighter than we ever did. The clock on the wall ticks out the seconds in silence, Each one a step further from what used to be. [Chorus] I’m standing here, and this neon cuts through my eyes, I can’t pretend anymore that everything’s fine. You’re just a shadow on the wet pavement now, And I keep trying to catch what’s long gone somehow. What’s long gone… [Middle 8] [Break] [Verse ] The city still slices through the dark with its shop lights, Like it never noticed the quiet break inside of me. Let it not see. Let it just keep living on. Its light can’t break through this darkness I’m in. [Chorus] I’m standing here, and this neon cuts through my eyes, I can’t pretend anymore that everything’s fine. You’re just a shadow on the wet pavement now, And I keep trying to catch what’s long gone somehow. What’s long gone… [fade-out]
