Silhouette
Odell Tom Lyrics

I keep waking at night in the freezing cold
I constantly wake up in the middle of the night feeling extremely cold

Staring at the shadows coming up the walls
I gaze at the shadows that slowly move along the walls

Giving me a feeling I can't define
These shadows evoke an indescribable feeling within me

"Is there anyone there?" I say to the dark
I anxiously ask if there is anybody present in the darkness

But all I get back is a beating heart
In response, I only hear the sound of a heart pounding

Going out of rhythm and I realize
The heartbeat becomes irregular, and I come to a realization

Oh, something's changed
Oh, a noticeable shift has occurred

It's just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds
It's merely a dark outline, a swift movement seen through the blinds

It's just a mind trick, I don't know why
It's simply a trick of the mind, and I am unsure of its origin

But it reminds me of someone that I used to know
Nevertheless, it stirs memories of a person from my past

All that I can't forget, is there every night right beside me
All that I cannot erase from my mind is present every night, right by my side

I open my eyes and it reminds me
When I awaken, it serves as a reminder

I should have never let you go
I deeply regret allowing you to leave

Look up there don't you see her face
Direct your gaze upwards, can't you see her visage?

That familiar heart, that familiar shape
The heart and shape appear familiar, recognizable to me

Giving me a feeling, I can't define
They instill within me an elusive sensation

It's just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds
Once again, it is merely a shadow, a swift movement seen through the blinds

It's just a mind trick, I don't know why
It's simply a trick of the mind, and I am unsure of its cause

But it reminds me of someone that I used to know
Still, it brings to mind someone from my past

All that I can't forget, is there every night right beside me
All that I cannot escape from can be found every night, right beside me

I open my eyes and it reminds me
As I awaken, it serves as a reminder once again

I should have never let you go
I deeply regret allowing you to depart from my life

I wanna put my arms around you
I desire to embrace you wholeheartedly

Tell everyone I found you
I want to proclaim to everyone that I have found you

But you're just a shadow in my mind
However, you are merely a figment of my imagination

You know you've got me so enchanted
You are aware that you have me under a spell of fascination

Why you gotta be cold-heart
Why do you have to be so unfeeling and indifferent?

Dancing on your own in the cold streetlight
Engaging in solitary dance under the chilling streetlight

You're just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds
You are nothing more than a silhouette, a swift movement seen through the blinds

It's just a mind trick, I don't know why
It's simply a trick of the mind, and I am unsure of the reason

But it reminds me of someone that I used to know
Yet, it triggers memories of someone I was formerly acquainted with

All that I can't forget, is there every night right beside me
All that I cannot erase from my mind is persistently present each night, right by my side

I open my eyes and it reminds me
As I awake, it serves as a reminder once again

I should have never let you go
I deeply regret allowing you to depart from my life

Silhouette, don't change, don't stay
Silhouette, please remain as you are, don't alter or remain stagnant

Someone that I used to know, oh someone that I used to know
You are someone I once knew, oh, someone I once knew
