Lyric

In this city where the scent of rain begins to bleed

Searching for you was the only thing I’d ever need

Even those smiles you wore, decorated with a lie

Somehow they looked beautiful, in the corner of my eye

Maybe I’ve just grown too used to feeling all this pain

I’m reaching out to touch you, but the efforts are in vain

Only your shadow flickers, dancing in the rain

Vague lies and the shadow of you

Even with our fingers linked, we’re through

Holding onto scars that will never fade away

Your voice is tearing through my heart, making me stay

Vague lies and the shadow of you

I can’t forget this love, even if it’s broken too

Just the words "I love you" are enough to make me cry

As the night begins to blur, beneath the neon sky

Even with those words, filled with every cheap excuse

There was a truth I wanted to believe, but what’s the use?

I just wanted you to be the weak soul that you are

And cry right here beside me, like a falling star

Every time we pass each other, the fever starts to chill

I noticed it was fading, but I couldn’t stand still

I just couldn’t let you go, against my own will

Vague lies and the shadow of you

Looking for the heart that I lost in the blue

No matter what future I try to paint in my head

Without you here, the colors all turn into lead

Vague lies and the shadow of you

The warmth I felt within the lies was all I ever knew

Only the memory of that day is holding me tight

Keeping me connected through the silence of the night

Hey

Show me who you really are, deep inside

I don’t need the shadows, I don’t need the lies to hide

I just wanted you to smile, right here by my side

That was all I ever wanted... why did we collide?

Vague lies and the shadow of you

Even if we’re shattered, even if we’re through

The sound of you calling my name is a knife in my chest

Stabbing through the heart that never gets a rest

Vague lies and the shadow of you

The echoes of a love that I can never truly end

If I can call this phantom "love," my broken friend

(Vague lies... your shadow...)

(Love is just a ghost tonight...)
