I hear your shadow (Response)

Song Lyrics

By Jaded | Pleasured (Ay! Eye Muse, Productions. Tired/Toxi)Published 3 months ago 2 min read

[Verse 1]

The door was left open

Hoping you would chase me

I never wanted to be stagnant

I'm still waiting for you to catch up,

Why are you counting tiles?

When I am screaming for you to "come on",

You're acting as if I forgot you,

But you haven't moved from your spot

[Pre-Chorus]

Are you fine? Cause I feel left in the dirt,

Your's are shaking while mine are freezing,

I'm still keeping my promise

Why are you asking for more?

[Chorus]

You cut your heart out,

And threw those chains to the tracks,

You cut your heart out,

What you hear is my shadow fading out,

You're not here

What are you holding on to?

(What are you holding on to?)

You cut your heart out,

And threw them to the tracks

[Verse 2]

I saw you looking at me,

Still the same sweater you gave me,

I had to get groceries,

That damn thread is stubborn,

I wish you wanted more

You could be laughing with me,

Your keys could be in that dish,

The little things are always there,

Stop wishing for small things,

[Pre-Chorus]

Are you fine? Cause I feel left in the dirt,

I hear your voice breaking,

I wish you would stop assuming,

That goodbye is the answer to everything

[Chorus]

You cut your heart out,

And threw those chains to the tracks,

You cut your heart out,

What you hear is my shadow fading out,

You're not here

What are you holding on to?

(What are you holding on to?)

You cut your heart out,

And threw them to the tracks

[Bridge]

Why would you want to get sick in the rain?

It won't dull that ache,

Call my name, it's what I've been waiting for,

All it takes is your effort,

You're not made of stone,

But I'm made of glass,

Neither am I, but we can rebuild,

Did you learn my goodbye?

Or are you giving up?

Cause you're dragging me on those tracks,

[Final Chorus]

You cut your heart out,

And threw those chains to the tracks,

You cut your heart out,

What you hear is my shadow fading out,

You're not here

What are you holding on to?

(What are you holding on to?)

You cut your heart out,

And threw me to the tracks
