I wish you'd see it in my face
But I'm caught up in those long lost days
And how can I even make you see
When I don't even know me

Following my footsteps home
This time I'm walking all alone
Trying hard to be someone I don't even know

I feel like a shadow
Walking behind who you think I am
Just like my shadow
Wanting to see the sun again
I'm your shadow
And I'm lost
Just like my shadow

Thought I'd like me bright and new
But my candle burned out long before you
Now I'm the one who's got to pay
I'm finding me a better day

Following my footsteps home
This time I'm walking all alone
Trying to be someone I don't even know
I feel like a shadow
Walking behind who you think I am
Just like my shadow
Wanting to see the sun again
I'm your shadow
And I'm lost
Just like my shadow

Sunlight is my life
I can hardly comprehend
Sunlight is my life
I cannot understand

I feel like a shadow
Walking behind who you think I am
Just like my shadow
Wanting to see the sun again
I'm your shadow
And I'm lost
Just like my shadow
