You say you care about yourself only half as much as about anything else
You numb yourself with empty talk
You throw around words, but you change nothing at all
I'm sitting here buried by snow
Realizing once again I won't get what I want
You give and take it's draining me
To always be the mirror of all your deeds
Don't you feel, what anyone could see
I suppose, you don't realize
I've only been your shadow
Day to day what we try to portray
Is getting more hollow
We are loosely glued together
By the hopes of a change in weather
I suppose you don't realize
I've only been your shadow
Placing all your words on golden scales
Cause in experience they're mostly empty and vain
Been stuck too deep inside my mind
Trying to fight what's been there for such a long time
Don't you feel, what anyone could
Don't you feel, what anyone could see
I suppose, you don't realize
I've only been your shadow
Day to day what we try to portray
Is getting more hollow
We are loosely glued together
By the hopes of a change in weather
I suppose you don't realize
I've only been your shadow
They're telling me I'm too forgiving
Finding apologies for all the souls
That run out of explanations
Explanations that are reasonable
I suppose, you don't realize
I've only been your shadow
Day to day what we try to portray
Is getting more hollow
We are loosely glued together
By the hopes of a change in weather
I suppose you don't realize
I've only been your, only been your, only been your, only been your shadow
