The Shadows - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You reached your hand out and I was quick to take it

Like sunlight it just fades away

And now I'm holding onto nothing

I reached my heart out and you were quick to break it

Cause I wasn't enough

But you go and you leave me with the shadows

Of all the things you didn't want to keep

But I know that you'll forget me in the shadows

And in the dark I see that you're not meant for me

I want to find out what it takes to reach you

When I'm close enough to hear you breathe

But you still keep your distance

In this dim light it's easy not to notice

Or I'm not enough

But you go and you leave me with the shadows

Of all the things you didn't want to keep

But I know that you'll forget me in the shadows

And in the dark I see that you're not meant for me

I reach my hand out, it just fades to nothing

I'll fade to nothing

And you won't let me reach you

And in the dark I see you won't let me reach you

But you go and you leave me with the shadows

Of all the things you didn't want to keep

But I know that you'll forget me in the shadows

And in the dark I see that you're not meant for me

Don't leave me in the shadows

(In the dark I see)

Don't leave me in the shadows

(In the dark I see)

Don't leave me in the shadows

(In the dark I see)
