Shadows by Topher Lyrics
(Intro)
I’ve been living in the shadows
I’m afraid to believe what’s in front of me
It’s always been a battle
Do I tell you a lie?
Or let you walk by
Like I don’t even want to get to know you
I try to be blunt then the friendship’s over
Shadows
I’ll be biting my tongue
Until I’m covered in blood
Verse:
I know daily I been trying but I'm slowly growing weary
Anything I tell you now a conspiracy theory
If only you would stop and listen promise baby you could hear me
Bet you understand all of it clearly
It's either you don't pay any attention or I'm talking to a wall
Praying often that it crumbles and fall
But lately, you don't even think to answer, you're silent when I call
That's when I realized the truth of it all
(Chorus)
I’ve been living in the shadows
I’m afraid to believe what’s in front of me
It’s always been a battle
Do I tell you a lie?
Or let you walk by
Like I don’t even want to get to know you
I try to be blunt then the friendship’s over
Shadows
I’ll be biting my tongue
Until I’m covered in blood
Verse:
Only just now learning that you might not ever change
Despite the information that we exchange
At this point, doesn't matter if it's awkward, even strange
You'll label me the one severely deranged
I can't even share what I believe, without you taking a reprieve
Difficult convincing someone they're deceived
You bought into it while naïve, but I'm showing you receipts
Swear I love you way too much to keep the peace
Sorry, I gotta wake you up
Be the one to shake you up
I'll be the one that's there
Willing to take you up
Up, above all the extraordinary judgement
Screaming in the darkness but ain't none of it budging
A powerful new force now working in yo life
Pushing every single lie into the light
The only time I'd be disappointed during any part of the fight is seeing you know better but not doing right
(Bridge/Verse)
Do I run, do I hide, or
Do I let this be my demise
My reality’s out of sight
I’m trapped under ice and
My minds in a vice, yeah
It’s been days since I woke up
But I wanna fall asleep and go numb again
I just wanna be numb, Cause
(Chorus)
I’ve been living in the shadows
I’m afraid to believe what’s in front of me
It’s always been a battle
Do I tell you a lie?
Or let you walk by
Like I don’t even want to get to know you
I try to be blunt then the friendship’s over
Shadows
I’ll be biting my tongue
Until I’m covered in blood
(Outro)
I’ll be biting my tongue
Biting my tongue
I’ll be biting my tongue
I’ll be biting my tongue
Biting my tongue
‘Til we bring back the love
Living in the shadows
I’ve been living in the shadows
I’m afraid to believe what’s in front of me
It’s always been a battle
Do I tell you a lie?
Or let you walk by
Like I don’t even want to get to know you
I try to be blunt then the friendship’s over
Shadows
I’ll be biting my tongue
Until I’m covered in blood
