You are like my Shadow
You are like my shadow
Mine but can't share my sorrow
A light of hope comes to delight me
I turn around and I see you there still clinging

You vanish away in my dark times
Come around when I am singing happy chimes
When my world is lit with bright lights
Only then my shadow comes fading the brights

I knew we couldn't get too far
But still allowed you to give me a scar
How could I just let myself go?
And instead turn myself into a dark shadow

When I try to embrace another scarred soul
Our shadows also become a whole
Our shadows are our dark pasts
Which now have become shelters of aghast

Everything was telling me to not get attached
But love is blindfolded when souls are to be matched
I was falling knowing that I will crash
But I couldn't quite help in this mad rush
