[Intro] [Verse 1] When others think I'm fine, I'm hurting inside I keep it under my mask. I learned to keep things to myself, All my fear, pain, doubt and loneliness... I adapt to different people, Hiding my real 'me' Because I know the shape of myself And I just can never fit in. [Pre-Chorus] Why am I like this? Do I just not want to fit in? Please tell me what you see in me! Am I maybe too soft, loud or just too much? I can't even explain the reason I am like that... I don't even know who I am [Chorus] In my shadow I just hide In my shadow I feel fine I know I can't hide forever But the real world is just too much for me. In my shadow I can't hurt myself In my shadow I start to lose myself I don't want to fit in... I want to be loved just the way I am! [Verse 2] Even the silence leaves a mark, If I'm alone the bad thoughts come to the surface Because of that I keep a key in my pocket For the parts I want to lock away I still have a little hope left A little faith that wants to stay I am not perfect, will never be Did my heart just take too much? Or is it my fault that things are going the wrong way...? [Pre-Chorus] Warum bin ich so? Will ich einfach nicht dazugehören? Bitte sag mir, was du in mir siehst! Bin ich vielleicht zu sanft, zu laut oder einfach zu viel? Ich kann selbst nicht erklären, warum ich so bin... Ich weiß nicht einmal, wer ich bin! [Chorus] In meinem Schatten versteck ich mich. In meinem Schatten fühle ich mich wohl. Ich weiß, ich kann mich nicht ewig verstecken. Aber die reale Welt ist einfach zu viel für mich... In meinem Schatten kann ich mir nicht wehtun. In meinem Schatten beginne ich, mich selbst zu verlieren. Ich will mich nicht anpassen... Ich will so geliebt werden, wie ich bin! [Bridge - quite] Maybe I just deserve that feeling I deserve to not be loved I was always the problem in the first place. But I just don't seem to find it in myself... So I open my heart just enough Letting me get what I deserve... [Final Chorus] In my shadow I just hide In my shadow I feel fine I know I can't hide forever But the real world is just too much for me. In my shadow I can't hurt myself In my shadow I start to lose myself I don't want to fit in... I want to be loved just the way I am! (But I know that I don't deserve that....) [Outro]
