Whispered Shadows

-----INTRO----- I always thought you were real you were there on the swings Laughing at the way I tripped saying it was okay to fall You made me feel like I wasn’t alone we shared secrets, or maybe just mine But now your words feel heavier and I don’t know why I’m listening You keep telling me to change to stop being soft, to let it go But the more I follow your voice the less I feel like myself Whisper-whisper louder now telling me who, telling me how Break it down-down-down turn me around-around-around Whisper-whisper don’t let go your voice is all I’ve come to know I started doing the things you said shoving people out of the way Smiling when they looked scared it felt good, for a moment But you don’t laugh anymore your face in my mind is blurred And when I call your name there’s only silence You said this is who I am that I needed to let it out But the more I try to see you the more I realize you’re not there Whisper-whisper louder now telling me who, telling me how Break it down-down-down turn me around-around-around Whisper-whisper don’t let go your voice is all I’ve come to know --Instrumental break-- There was no one behind me no footsteps, no shadow You were my voice all along saying what I never dared to It wasn’t you who made me this it was always me, wasn’t it? The side I hid, the part I feared i gave it a name i gave it a face Whisper-whisper it’s me now telling me who, telling me how Break it down-down-down turn me around-around-around Whisper-whisper, let it go the truth is all I’ll ever know Whisper-whisper it’s me now whisper-whisper I see now -----END-----
