Shadow Of A Person

Title: Shadow Of A Person

You will never know what it's like to live
You just do what everyone tells you
You have no life of your own
To call your own
So long as you listen to what they say

You're nothing but a shadow
The shadow of a person
Someone you wish you could be

You think you know what you want
But there is nothing that you want
You just do what they tell you to do
You are no individual
You're a slave to what they say

You're nothing but a shadow
The shadow of a person
Someone you wish you could be

I thought I knew who you were
But that was all in my head
And now I realize all too late
That it was never worth the fight
You were never worth the time

Because...

You're nothing but a shadow
The shadow of a person
Someone you wish you could be
