Lyrics:

Verse:
She walked in like the rain on a lonely street
A storm in heels, her silhouette complete
She said, “I need you,” with a velvet tone
Her voice poured whiskey over nights alone
She wore her grief like a painted disguise
But the truth flickered in her midnight eyes
A crumpled letter, a name in red
Blackmail ink and a husband dead
I should’ve turned her away — but I didn’t

Chorus:
She carried shadows in her smile
The widow’s shadow stretched a mile
Her name was fire, her touch was ice
A deadly game, I paid the price
Her story lingered, her kiss betrayed
The widow’s shadow never fades

Verse:
I chased the trail through the city’s veins
Where secrets festered in alleys and stains
Her husband’s deals left a bloody mark
Smuggled lives traded in the dark
The lies she told were as sweet as sin
Each word wrapped hooks that drew me in
Her story cracked, but I played along
The widow’s tune, a siren song
And every note dragged me deeper still

Chorus:
She carried shadows in her smile
The widow’s shadow stretched a mile
Her name was fire, her touch was ice
A deadly game, I paid the price
Her story lingered, her kiss betrayed
The widow’s shadow never fades

Bridge:
The pieces fell like glass in my mind
Each shard sharper than her lies
Her smile held secrets I couldn’t unwind
But the truth cuts deeper than goodbye
Her shadow lingers, a scar in time

Verse:
She laughed when I called her bluff
Said, “You were clever — but not enough”
Her plan was set, her web complete
And I was the pawn beneath her feet
The sirens wailed as she slipped away
Vanished into the night’s decay
Her kiss still burned, a brand I wear
A ghost of smoke in the midnight air
I was played, and the widow won

Chorus:
She carried shadows in her smile
The widow’s shadow stretched a mile
Her name was fire, her touch was ice
A deadly game, I paid the price
Her story lingered, her kiss betrayed
The widow’s shadow never fades
