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