V. 1- I’m walking the streets tonight
Don’t know where I’m going
I have no need to see the light
It’s getting cold now with the wind blowing
The darkness comes every time
I open my eyes
I fear I am losing my mind
With the thoughts of all the goodbyes

Chorus- My shadow’s here beside me,
Wandering around all my life
I don’t know who I wanna be
But my shadow’s carrying all my strife
I’m losing, losing touch with myself
Forgetting who I once was
My shadow’s getting lost on an empty shelf

V. 2- I’m losing sight of my own life
Trying to keep everything together
I’ve got to keep going pack to my device
The love, and relationships are severed
My time is coming on fast
I’ve got to keep going.
I regret my past
I’m going to try not to show it

V. 3- Why do I keep on trying
I’m getting no where fast
All the people around me are lying
Keeping all my truths in the past
I think I’m all alone
In this world full of people
My love and secrets have been shown
Making my words lethal

Chorus Revise- My shadow’s here beside me
Wandering around all my life
I don’t know who I wanna be
But my shadow’s getting lost on an empty shelf.
Everybody’s trying to change
But my shadow stays the same
