Shadow With Somebody Else

Verse

I trusted you with all my years,

Built a life, built a home outta dreams and fears.

Now you’re smiling like I never tried,

Like I wasn’t the one right by your side.

White dress visions, late-night talks,

Now I’m pacing alone on these empty blocks.

You moved on fast, didn’t even flinch,

Left me here with the burn and the fingerprints.

Pre-chorus

He don’t know the way you break,

He don’t know the nights you shake.

I was there when it all fell apart,

Now you’re acting like I wasn’t your start.

Chorus

Now you’re a shadow with somebody else,

With some guy that don’t know you like I felt.

I was fading, blowing away into dust,

While he’s living off the love that we built from us.

Block your number, yeah I’m done for good,

You traded real for something you misunderstood.

You betrayed me, yeah you chose yourself,

Now you’re just a shadow with somebody else.

Verse

I put the work in, paid my dues,

Gave you loyalty, truth, no excuse.

Now he’s flexing what I broke my back for,

Standing tall in a house I built the floors.

You say my name like I’m the blame,

Like I didn’t bleed every time you changed.

I see the cracks behind your smile,

I was real — he’s just here for a while.

Pre-chorus

He don’t hear what you don’t say,

He don’t fight like I stayed.

I was love when it got too hard,

He’s just close — I had your heart.

Chorus

Now you’re a shadow with somebody else,

With some guy that don’t know you like I felt.

I was fading, blowing away into dust,

While he’s living off the love that we built from us.

Block your number, yeah I’m done for good,

You traded real for something you misunderstood.

You betrayed me, yeah you chose yourself,

Now you’re just a shadow with somebody else.

Bridge

You don’t get to miss me now,

I’m the past you talk about.

When it all comes crashing down,

Don’t look back — I won’t be around.

Chorus

Now you’re a shadow with somebody else,

I survived what you put me through myself.

I was fading, now I’m back on my feet,

Turned the pain that you gave into gasoline.

Block your number, closed that door,

You don’t get access anymore.

You lost me chasing something new,

Now I’m gone — and that’s on you.

Outro

I was real.

You were temporary.
