Lyrics

Shadow

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh You let it rise You let it pull you down And as it gripped you in the darkness with a thousand eyes a-ragin' You were shredded all to pieces from the things you couldn't face You're living the long, whoa, whoa And I know

You're just a version of my shadow (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) I was terrified of listening to lights So the darkness came alive and telling me, "I know" (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) You're on your own You're in the thick of it And the fire that's been burning in your head for all your life Well, it's blazing through the best of you, the path is set alight Telling me, "Oh-whoa, oh-whoa" (woo)

And I know (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) You're just a version of my shadow (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) I was terrified of listening to lights So the darkness came alive and telling me, "I know" (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Whoa, don't tear me down I swear, I love you Don't drown me out, I swear I love you (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Don't lock me out (ooh-ooh) I swear, I love you I love you (One, two, three, four) And I know (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) You're just a version of my shadow (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) I was terrified of listening to the lights So the darkness came alive telling me, "I know" (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

And I know (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) You're just a version of my shadow (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) An apparition of the things I couldn't face Trying to put me in my place and telling me, "I know" (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
