(Intro)

I’ve been living in the shadows

I’m afraid to believe what’s in front of me

It’s always been a battle

Do I tell you a lie?

Or let you walk by

Like I don’t even want to get to know you

I try to be blunt then the friendship’s over

Shadows

I’ll be biting my tongue

Until I’m covered in blood

Verse:

I know daily I been trying but I'm slowly growing weary

Anything I tell you now a conspiracy theory

If only you would stop and listen promise baby you could hear me

Bet you understand all of it clearly

It's either you don't pay any attention or I'm talking to a wall

Praying often that it crumbles and fall

But lately, you don't even think to answer, you're silent when I call

That's when I realized the truth of it all

(Chorus)

I’ve been living in the shadows

I’m afraid to believe what’s in front of me

It’s always been a battle

Do I tell you a lie?

Or let you walk by

Like I don’t even want to get to know you

I try to be blunt then the friendship’s over

Shadows

I’ll be biting my tongue

Until I’m covered in blood

Verse:

Only just now learning that you might not ever change

Despite the information that we exchange

At this point, doesn't matter if it's awkward, even strange

You'll label me the one severely deranged

I can't even share what I believe, without you taking a reprieve

Difficult convincing someone they're deceived

You bought into it while naïve, but I'm showing you receipts

Swear I love you way too much to keep the peace

Sorry, I gotta wake you up

Be the one to shake you up

I'll be the one that's there

Willing to take you up

Up, above all the extraordinary judgement

Screaming in the darkness but ain't none of it budging

A powerful new force now working in yo life

Pushing every single lie into the light

The only time I'd be disappointed during any part of the fight is seeing you know better but not doing right

(Bridge/Verse)

Do I run, do I hide, or

Do I let this be my demise

My reality’s out of sight

I’m trapped under ice and

My minds in a vice, yeah

It’s been days since I woke up

But I wanna fall asleep and go numb again

I just wanna be numb, Cause

(Chorus)

I’ve been living in the shadows

I’m afraid to believe what’s in front of me

It’s always been a battle

Do I tell you a lie?

Or let you walk by

Like I don’t even want to get to know you

I try to be blunt then the friendship’s over

Shadows

I’ll be biting my tongue

Until I’m covered in blood

(Outro)

I’ll be biting my tongue

Biting my tongue

I’ll be biting my tongue

I’ll be biting my tongue

Biting my tongue

‘Til we bring back the love

Living in the shadows
