I’m getting over you now
Every day finds things a bit clearer
The rumors of the affair have quieted down
Your ghost no longer lingers close
To me at night when I’m alone
I’ve given you up
I’ve shunned your throne
The princess to my heart
Longer you’re not
I only wish we could have said things better
Before you had to go

I gave up your shadow a little too late
This departure was a long time coming
You lent me your heart then took it right back
And now this song of betrayal is what I’m left humming
I painted a picture of us in my mind
I divided your kindness by the faith in your grace
When I turn out the lights, it’s not so dark
I am still illuminated by the light of your face

We lost one another before
The years did not treat us kindly
You moved on to another
As I stumbled down these dark streets blindly
Something brought us back together
Maybe it was fate or some higher power
I never could guess and now you’re gone
I never knew how such a sweet love could so quickly sour

I gave up your shadow a little too late
This departure was a long time coming
You lent me your heart then took it right back
And now this song of betrayal is what I’m left humming
I painted a picture of us in my mind
I divided your kindness by the faith in your grace
When I turn out the lights, it’s not so dark
I am still illuminated by the light of your face

Maybe we’ll meet back up
When we’ve both had time to grow
To put aside the things we couldn’t fix
Maybe that’s all we need although
I’d take you back now if I could
I’d put aside the past for another chance
To crack the riddle hidden in your touch
To lead you out in the moonlight for one last dance

I gave up your shadow a little too late
This departure was a long time coming
You lent me your heart then took it right back
And now this song of betrayal is what I’m left humming
I painted a picture of us in my mind
I divided your kindness by the faith in your grace
When I turn out the lights, it’s not so dark
I am still illuminated by the light of your face
