[Verse 1] You always want me on my knees Like I was made to beg But that old door locked on me I stood up instead You keep your hands in your pockets Acting like you never knew But I can see right through it Every crack comes out of you [Pre-Chorus] You flinch when I get near Like truth could cut your skin You hide behind that cool facade While I’m done playing in [Chorus] I’m not your shadow anymore Not your shadow anymore You can’t pull me to the floor I’m not your shadow anymore Say what you feel, say it now Say what you feel, say it now I’m not your shadow anymore Not your shadow anymore [Verse 2] You want my love on a leash You want my voice soft and small But I learned my own name lately And I don’t fold for that at all You wear that mask so neatly Like nobody sees the strain But I know the real you’s bleeding Under all that quiet pain [Pre-Chorus] You act like stone and steel But I hear the tremble in That little pause before you lie And call it discipline [Chorus] I’m not your shadow anymore Not your shadow anymore You can’t pull me to the floor I’m not your shadow anymore Say what you feel, say it now Say what you feel, say it now I’m not your shadow anymore Not your shadow anymore [Bridge] If you want me, meet me upright No more knees, no more games Show me the face behind the armor Say my name, say my name I can hold the truth with you If you stop running from it I’m still here, but I’m not yours To erase and cover up with [Final Chorus] I’m not your shadow anymore Not your shadow anymore You can’t pull me to the floor I’m not your shadow anymore Say what you feel, say it now Say what you feel, say it now I’m not your shadow anymore Not your shadow anymore
