Lyrics

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

(Chorus)
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 (x2)

Your body gives but then pulls back
The sun is bright, the sky is black
Can only be another sign
I cannot keep what isn't mine
You left your love linger on, but you, you were almost gone

(Chorus)
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 (x2)

(Bridge)
How can I tell if you mean what you say?
You say it so loud that you sound far away
Maybe I have just a glimpse of your soul
Or what that your shadow I saw on the wall?
I'm watching you disappear but you, you were never here

(Chorus)
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
It's only your shadow
