Shadow Song

I'm living my life like a shadow
Always I'm flat to the ground
Avoiding the sun as I'm stepped on by everyone 
And never make a sound
 
So I left this country with sorrow
But not for things I left behind
But for the things that I lost long before I lived
And long after I died
 
I'm living my life like a shadow
I mimic the movement of life
-I see everything
You're not always beautiful, but you're alright
 
I'm tracing my steps in the dark
Trying to find where I start
But the road splits a million times
Each mistake I made played its part 
 
I'm living my life like a shadow
I mimic the movement of life
I follow the one as she dances in the light
I need her to survive
 
Everyone can see me but no one knows I'm here
Maybe I'm the only thing alive
