Shadow from The Grindstone by Kristen Ford

Watching a muted television
The fishtank just runs and runs
In an empty house with too many lights on
You tell yourself you like being alone

I knew that I loved you when we first met
and our first kiss well that only made sense
when you get sad I will get to dreaming
when you get sad I will get to leaving

You and I were never meant to be
you cannot fight against gravity
the world keeps spinning
I am standing still

The new one never asks about you
You gotta put the past behind you
But I still got your jewelry in my underwear drawer
and a couple a notes in the box full of all the things that I adore

You and I were never meant to be
you cannot fight against gravity
the world keeps spinning
I am standing still
in your shadow
I'm standing still in your shadow
I'm standing still in your shadow
I'm standing still
