[Verse]
You call me up when she’s gone quiet
Your ghostly shadow starts a riot
I’m not your spare
Your backup scene
Not your shelter when she turns mean
You vanish fast when she’s near
A paper plane caught in the atmosphere
I’m not a pawn in your little game
Don’t light me up just to snuff my flame
[Prechorus]
You see me when the lights go out
When her silence starts to shout
[Chorus]
Fair-weather friend
Where do you go
When the sun shines bright
And her love glows
Fair-weather friend
I’m not your fix
I’m the crack in the mirror you can’t unmix
[Verse 2]
You drop me cold like autumn leaves
When her sweet whispers start to weave
I’m not your shadow
I’m not your chain
I’m the storm before the hurricane
I stitched you up when you were torn
But now I’m the thread that’s getting worn
Your words are sugar
Your actions salt
But my trust breaking? That’s your fault
