Silhouette

I was walking in the rain

When I came across your windowpane

At first I peered inside with shame

And your eyes beheld all of my pain

I thought you'd let me come inside

But then I saw you run and hide

It killed what little of my pride remained,

I felt so crucified

Your love's just a silhouette

Shade is all I get, I feel blind

Your love's just a silhouette

What are you hiding behind?

I tried to over-fantasize

So I'd justify your little lies

I'd imagine you were roped and tied

And some crook held you hostage with a knife

But I'm projecting on myself

Describing the way I've always felt

Shackled by your chains of tortured love

Escape is all I'm dreaming of

Your love's just a silhouette

Shade is all I get, I feel blind

Your love's just a silhouette

What are you hiding behind?

I left your dreaded windowpane

And kept on walking in the rain

I knew I would not return again

I'd forget your shady silhouette

I knew I would not return again

I'd forget your shady silhouette
