Shadow

I walk behind you everyday
Copying your life in everyway
Wishing I could be like you
Wishing I was you

I wish I could me more like you
All my life you’ve been my idol
Together, always been combined
But still always one step behind

I live life in your wake
I live life so fake
I’m not my own person anymore
I’m just your shadow

I never get chance to shine
To get praise for what is mine
That I stalk you, that untrue
Because you need me more than I need you


I’ve spent my life trying to be you
Copying your life through and through
Always needing that something more
You’re my god, the one I adore

I live life in your wake
I live life feeling so fake
I’m not my own person anymore
I’m just your shadow

I now realise what a fool I’ve been
I have to take on the chin
When people start to proclaim
Me and you, we are the same
I spent all my life trying to be you
Now I want to be me.
