[Intro] I, I'm just your I'm just your I'm just your shadow I, I'm just your I'm in your shadow [Verse 1] I held you up, straightened your crown picked all your pieces off the ground I said "you're a star", I watched you shine Still somehow, I fell behind I worked the lights as you took the stage broke myself, just for your praise Took me years to finally see that you never needed me [Chorus] I thought we were walking side by side But somehow you kept me just out of sight I'll never be more than just your shadow I matched your pace, I knew your stride but I won't try to block your shine guess I'll never be more than just your shadow [Verse 2] You leaned on me, when you broke down I stroked your hair, and eased your doubt picked you up, when you were down But you forgot me in the crowd How'd I become just another fan? I think back to when we began I put you on the path to shine somehow you still left me behind [Chorus] I thought we were walking side by side But somehow you kept me just out of sight I'll never be more than just your shadow I matched your pace, I knew your stride but I won't try to block your shine guess I'll never be more than just your shadow [Bridge] One day you'll turn around, and I'll be gone And even after all I've done You'll tell your friends, I was nothing but your shadow I had your back, through thick and thin took your side when no one did but to you, I was nothing but your shadow [Final Chorus] I thought we were walking side by side But somehow you kept me just out of sight I'll never be more than just your shadow I matched your pace, I knew your stride but I won't try to block your shine guess I'll never be more than just your shadow
