You believed you could make a difference I believed that I could change If it were only ever 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've 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
(I can't hold you, I can't hold you down)
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 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
