Lyrics

When you walk there's no shadow to see
you left that behind in the room next to me
Its dark in here now that we're done
I'm missing the sun of your company

You've left me in winter and gone to your spring
you stand in the spotlight,I wait in the wings

But I am the rock in your matress of life
the cry in the alley that wakes you at night
a fractured equation without any sum
I am the squareroot of negative one

When you spoke it was music sublime
And I always followed a half-step behind
You were practicing for greater parts
and being with me didn't further your art

I could almost believe you were with me this time
As you smiled at the mirror inside of you mind

I am the critic who panned your last play
The ping in your engine that won't go away
I am a philistine, one of the hive
who wouldn't know art if it ate him alive

But all your confessions, I'll hide them away
You'll want him to think that you're all that you say
A powerful figure, a presence, a fire
oh I could go on but I've gotten so tired
of being the sailor tied to his mast
of being the genie in your looking glass
yes I was the cork that fell in your wine
and I was the seaweed that hung on your lines
and I was the piston that blew though your block
And I was the ship that went down at the dock
I was your shadow and you were my core
You were the one who said love would endure
You are a meteor starting to fall
You are the one that I loved most of all
