Would you have known me
If I was just a picture
Nothing more than a face
What would I have been to you then?

Would you have loved me,
Cradled me close,
Or pushed me away,
The same way you did her?

Would you have run away,
To somewhere unknown,
Leaving me for her.
I hear her sobs through my door.

Neither can see me in the dark
How is it I'll tell you
That you've fallen in love with a ghost?
I'll never love you the way she can

I can never love you more
You are young, child
I am no more
I am the wisps in the dark

She is the lilting butterfly
I am the moth in a corner,
she is the light of your life
I am simply your shadow.
