Chasing Your Shadow

You left me behind and my heart shattered

into a thousand pieces.

People tell me there’ll be another

and you’re not worth my tears,

But there’s something

that they don’t understand.

It has to be you.

 

They tell me that you don’t deserve me

and that I should just forget you and move on,

But I’m the one who’s undeserving.

They just don’t understand

that I have to be with you

because you’re the only one for me.

 

You’re always racing on ahead

so I can only chase after your shadow.

I’ve got to catch up to you

but I always trip and stumble.

No matter how fast I run,

No matter how far I reach

you’re always in front of me.

 

I keep hoping you’ll stop and turn;

Please come back to me.
