Chasing Shadows-Matt DeFreitas
You believed you could make a difference
I believed that I could change
If it were only us that mattered
It was only ever us to blame
Lovers in the shade
Running out of plays
I'm tearing out the page where she's gone
That's why I'm chasing shadows
Yeah we were dancing in the light
that turned to flames
That's why I'm chasing shadows
And even though I tried to change
she'll never stay
Never thought the light would last forever
Never thought the dark could break the day
There's a hope in here that keeps me running
With every breath I call your name
Tell me where you been
Tell me everything
Tell me I don't have to walk away
That's why I'm chasing shadows
Yeah we were dancing in the light
that turned to flames
That's why I'm chasing shadows
So even though I tried to change
she'll never stay
That's why I'm chasing shadows
(I can't hold you, I can't hold you down)
(I can't hold you)
That's why I'm chasing shadows
(I can't hold you, I can't hold you down)
(I can't hold you)
That's why I'm chasing shadows
The outline of us is slowly fading
Like the dust that slips through
my hands as it falls
And in the wind she's gone
That's why I'm chasing shadows
That's why I'm chasing shadows
Yeah we were dancing in the light
that turned to flames
That's why I'm chasing shadows
So even though I tried to change
she'll never stay
That's why I'm chasing shadows
(I can't hold you, I can't hold you down)
(I can't hold you)
That's why I'm chasing shadows
(I can't hold you, I can't hold you down)
(I can't hold you)
That's why I'm chasing shadows
