Lyrics:

Verse 1
We met up on the stair
Spoke of things no longer there
Though I was just a ghost
He called me friend, almost

It caught me by surprise
I looked into his eyes
I swore he’d been long gone
Just shadows, moving on

Chorus
Oh no, not I
I never let it go
You're face to face
With the one who turned away

Verse 2
I smiled, then turned around
Took the long way back through town
I wandered through the haze
For endless nights and days

I saw that vacant gaze
Through valleys, streets, and caves
I swear I died back then
But came to life again

Chorus
But still, not I
I never lost control
You're eye to eye
With the one who turned away

Oh no, not I
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the one who turned away
