The shadow of us

(Verse 1)
I saw your car parked on 5th and Main
The same dented door, the same rust from the rain
But there’s a coffee cup sitting on the passenger side
And it isn’t mine, no matter how hard I hide
Behind the glass of the café across the street
Watching the way your eyes look so sweet
When you look at her, the way you used to look at me
Before "forever" became a ghost I can't see.
(Chorus)
Oh, Brian, I’m still living in the shadow of us
Tracing the outlines, covered in dust
You moved to the light, you found someone new
While I’m still haunted by the shade of you
It’s a crowded room but I’m standing alone
In the ruins of a love that we used to own
Yeah, she’s got your hand, and she’s got your trust
But I’m stuck here in the shadow of us.
(Verse 2)
I heard your sister says you’re doing fine
That you finally cleared your head and drew a line
But I’m still crossing it every single night
In dreams where we’re laughing, and everything’s right
Does she know how you take your coffee at four?
Does she know not to mention the war?
I want to hate her, I’ve tried to be cold
But she’s holding the future I thought I’d hold.
(Bridge)
Is it easy to forget? Is it easy to breathe?
When you aren’t tripping over the memories I leave?
Because every sunset has a hint of your name
And every "I love you" feels like a shame
When it isn’t coming from your lips to mine
I’m running out of air, I’m running out of time.
(Guitar Solo - Slow, Melancholic)
(Chorus)
Oh, Brian, I’m still living in the shadow of us
Tracing the outlines, covered in dust
You moved to the light, you found someone new
While I’m still haunted by the shade of you
It’s a crowded room but I’m standing alone
In the ruins of a love that we used to own
Yeah, she’s got your hand, and she’s got your trust
But I’m stuck here in the shadow of us.
(Outro)
The sun’s going down on this street tonight
And the shadows are stretching, losing the light
I’ll walk home alone, like I always do
Still in the shadow...
Still in the shadow...
Of you, Brian.
Just you.
