Lyrics

I Don't Want to Be Your Shadow

I don't want to be a shadow

So he's gone now

Now he's blown away

Didn't mean it, did he?

Losing all your games

All that yes i do time

When the lights go down

And it's time to move

And time to change

Time to use

And time to pay

Yes i do time

When the lights go down

I don't want to be a shadow

I don't mean i'm gonna follow

I'm not lost or stuck in sorrow

I don't want to be a shadow

I don't want to tell you

When you run around

I just want to be there

When the night comes down

When it's yes i do time

When the lights go down

And it's time to move

And time to change

Time to use

And time to pay

Yes i do time

When the lights go down

I don't want to be a shadow

I don't want to be a shadow

I don't mean i'm gonna follow

I'm not lost or stuck in sorrow

I don't want to be a shadow

I don't want to be a shadow

I don't mean i'm gonna follow

I'm not lost or stuck in sorrow

I don't want to be a shadow
