[Intro] I traced my fingers on the glass between us, Colored in feelings I was never meant to feel, You looked at me like I was something more than lines and paper, But how do you love a girl who can't be real? I wore my longing like a dress that never fits right, Chased the edge of your world just to breathe your air, And even if I crossed over, even if I touched you, You'd still be holding someone who was never there. [Chorus] I was drawn to love you, drawn in ink and sorrow, A pencil sketch of a heart that bleeds in black and white, You reached into my world like there could be a tomorrow, But darling, I was always just a shadow dressed as light. Just a shadow dressed as light... [Verse] You said my name like it was something worth believing, Like flesh and bone was just a detail we could work around, But I've seen how your world moves — heavy, warm, and breathing, And I'm just colors on a page that no one wants to keep around. Still I dreamed of rain on skin, of coffee going cold, Of waking up beside you in a world I'd never own, I practiced being human in the quiet of my colors, But even my best pretending couldn't reach you through the bone. [Chorus] I was drawn to love you, drawn in ink and sorrow, A pencil sketch of a heart that bleeds in black and white, You reached into my world like there could be a tomorrow, But darling, I was always just a shadow dressed as light. Just a shadow dressed as light... [Bridge] Maybe in another world the lines between us soften, Maybe love don't need a heartbeat just to be true, But here I'm fading at the edges, slowly, much too often, And the saddest kind of real... is knowing I can't have you. [Outro] I traced my fingers on the glass between us, Left a smudge where my love used to be, You walked away into your world of warm and breathing, And I dissolved back into ink... quietly.
