So give me one swift reason for
Your silhouette cast across my floor
The perfect edges of your dark shape
Are the outlines for nothing
And someday I should just let this die
Just like the light was sapped from your eyes
But every day I fall more in love
With a shadow I mistook for you
And someday I will get over this
But until then I live this mess
It won't retreat
It won't release
And my rebuttal
Is just "Please let me go"
So give me one swift reason for
Your silhouette cast across my floor
The perfect edges of your dark shape
Are the outlines for nothing
