Armand l'Enchanté - Spotlight Shadows Lyrics

[Intro]
In the glare of these lights, I'm hiding in plain sight
Behind this smile, there's a story I can't write

[Verse 1]
Silk bow tie, pressed collar and cuff
Playing it cool when the going gets rough
The band strikes up, and I take my cue
Damn, these melodies still taste like you

[Chorus]
In the spotlight shadows, where truth meets the show
I'm swinging through heartache, but nobody knows
These blues in my pocket, this jazz in my soul
Playing through the pain, baby, that's how we roll

[Verse 2]
Empty microphone where you used to stand
Your ghost note echoes through this big old band
The trumpet wails what I can't express
This stage feels bigger in your absence, I confess

[Bridge]
They say the show must go on
So I'm dancing with these demons till dawn
Smooth as bourbon, sharp as brass
Making this heartbreak sound like class

[Verse 3]
Every note we played, every song we shared
Now just memories of when somebody cared
But baby, watch me turn this pain to gold
In this spotlight shadow, I'm breaking the mold

[Chorus]
In the spotlight shadows, where truth meets the show
I'm swinging through heartache, but nobody knows
These blues in my pocket, this jazz in my soul
Playing through the pain, baby, that's how we roll

[Outro]
So let the spotlight burn, let the curtain fall
I'll keep on swinging, standing ten feet tall
'Cause in these spotlight shadows, I found my way
Making sweet music from the price I paid
