in the shadow Can you imagine what kind of life it is to In the shadows people see you as happy and Because what you want them to see Living two lives, happy, but not You live in the shadows for fear of someone hurting your or the person you love The world is changing and say it's time to be free But you live the fear of just being me Living in the shadow like the safe place to be No for them, no harm for me But life is short, and time to be free who you love, because life isn't guaranteed
