Shadow - Britney Spears

Your body’s warm, but you are not

You give a little, not a lot

It could be love until we kiss

You’re all I want, but not like this

I’m watching you disappear

But you, you were never here

It’s only your shadow

Never yourself

It’s only your shadow

Nobody else

It’s only your shadow

Filling the room

Arriving too late

And leaving too soon

And leaving too soon

Your body gives, but then holds back

The sun is bright, the sky is black

Can only be another sign

I cannot keep what isn’t mine

Your laughter, it lingers on

But you, you were almost gone

It’s only your shadow

Never yourself

It’s only your shadow

Nobody else

It’s only your shadow

Filling the room

Arriving too late

And leaving too soon

And leaving too soon

How can I tell if you mean what you say?

You say it so loud, but you sound far away

Maybe I had just a glimpse of your soul

Or was that your shadow I saw on the wall?

I’m watching you disappear

But you, you were never here

It’s only your shadow

Never yourself

It’s only your shadow

Nobody else

It’s only your shadow

Filling the room

Arriving too late

No, no, no

It’s only your shadow

It’s only your shadow

Nobody else

It’s only your shadow

Arriving too late

And leaving too soon

Ooh, oh

It’s only your shadow
