I look in your eyes and it' s not my reflection I see.
There' s someone else' s face, someone hauntingly like me.
I embrace you, but my arms hold only emptiness-
realizing your heart is no longer there.
She possesses your soul, she captivates your mind.
Your heart is transfixed, it has no desire to break free.
Standing in the shadows, do you even notice it' s not her -
it' s my face you see?
Whose caress is it that you really feel?
Whose voice speaks your name?
If I drifted away, lost on my own, would you even know?
Just a stand-in in your picture show-
Do I stay? Should I just fade away?
She possesses your soul - she captivates your mind.
Your heart is mesmerized - no will to break free.
Look carefully through the shadows -
It' s only me.
