Lyrics

Shadow

Your body's warm but you are not
You give a little, not a lot
You could be Love, until we kiss
You're all I want, but not like this.
I'm watching you disappear
But you, you were never here
It's only your shadow
Never yourself
It's only your shadow
Nobody else
It's only your shadow
Here in the room
Arriving to Late
Leaving to soon
Leaving to soon
Your body gives but then, Pulls back
The sun is, bright the sky is black
Could only be another sign
I cannot keep what isn't mine
Your love still lingers on
But you, you are almost gone
It's only your shadow
Never yourself
It's only your shadow
Nobody else
It's only your shadow
Here in the room
Arriving to Late
Leaving to soon
Leaving to soon
How can I tell that you mean what you say
Your say it so loud, but you sound far away
Maybe I've had just a glimpse of your soul
Or was that your shadow i saw on the wall
I'm watching you disappear
But you were, you were never here
It's only your shadow
Never yourself
It's only your shadow
Nobody else
It's only your shadow
Here in the room
Arriving to Late
Leaving to soon
Leaving to soon
