Dancing With Her Shadow

[Verse]
You're twirling in his arms under neon glow,
But my heart’s stuck on rewind, letting you go slow.
This whiskey’s got me blind, seeing shapes that ain't real,
Dancing with her shadow, 'cause I can't heal.
[Chorus]
But she don’t make you jealous, she don’t make you see,
Every time he's spinning you, it’s tearing through me.
The band keeps on playing, but I’m barely alive,
Dancing with her shadow, just to feel I survived.
[Verse 2]
My feet hit the floor, but I'm falling instead,
Tracing traces of you, where your memory led.
Every sip I take's like a ghost you left behind,
Dancing with her shadow, to a love I can't rewind.
[Chorus]
But she don’t make you jealous, she don’t make you cry,
Every time he's spinning you, the truth don’t lie.
The sadness keeps swaying, like the fiddle's last call,
Dancing with her shadow, 'neath this lonesome hall.
[Bridge]
The jukebox don’t notice, the barstools don’t care,
His hands fit yours like a prayer whispered in the air.
And I’m stuck in the corner with her faint silhouette,
Dancing with her shadow, trying not to forget.
[Chorus]
But she don’t make you jealous, she don’t bring you back,
Every time he's spinning you, it all fades to black.
The rhythm keeps aching, but the pain’s far too clear,
Dancing with her shadow, wishing you were still here.
