Description
[Verse 1]
Baby walking out of town, caught your shadow at the crack of dawn,
Never thought I'd hit the dime, but you slipped away before the light was gone.
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought you’d be right for me,
A steady flame beside the sea.
But the weight behind your smile pulled down,
Like mist settling on a broken sound.
[Chorus]
Baby, you were a liar, a flicker on my shiner,
I thought you'd rock away the timer.
Maybe if you find me, hit the club on me, baby,
I know where you are, but you can't find me.
[Verse 2]
You walked like a ghost through the mirror close to my face,
Maybe you set the pace in my restless race.
I thought you’d be grounded, holding steady and true,
But your words were the silence cutting through.
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought you’d be right for me,
A spark that sets the tide free.
But the shimmer turned to rust in my hand,
Like brittle leaves on unfamiliar land.
[Chorus]
Baby, you were a liar, a flicker on my shiner,
I thought you'd rock away the timer.
Maybe if you find me, hit the club on me, baby,
I know where you are, but you can't find me.
[Bridge]
You stepped out on cold streets, quiet where we used to breathe,
I trace the fading footprints in the rain, caught in what we never seized.
Do you remember or forget the crack that snapped our thread?
I’m standing in the fallout, wondering what you left unsaid.
[Chorus]
Baby, you were a liar, a flicker on my shiner,
I thought you'd rock away the timer.
Maybe if you find me, hit the club on me, baby,
I know where you are, but you can't find me.
[Outro]
Baby walking out of town, fading fast beyond the haze,
I never thought it’d be so bright and cruel in all these days.
