I couldn't be the hopeless helping
And now I know
That I didn't feel it overcome me
The shadow
When you said my name

It's not somewhere you'd expect to be
Held captive

I'll leave that feeling far behind me, as I grow
The regret you'd expect when you curse my name
Now I'm numb to the words
Lost touch with every sentence

It's not somewhere you'd expect to be
Held captive
An afterthought for everything
Until you walk away

A lover, a shadow, without even knowing it
The passing of time had it's own way of showing me

A lover, a shadow
