My Shadow & Me

Verse 1

Small feet walking down an empty street

Head hung low, eyes on the concrete

The world feels big and I feel so small

Like I don’t belong here at all

But there’s something right there by my side

Quiet and still, never needs to hide

Taller than me, with a smile so black

Always there when I look back

Pre-Chorus

People pass and they don’t see

The only one who’s always here with me

It doesn’t judge, it doesn’t ask why

It just walks with me through the dark and the light

Chorus

Oh, my shadow friend, you hold me when I fall

You’re the quiet voice when it’s too loud and I feel small

You wrap around me like a second skin

You know the parts I never let them see again

Through every lonely night and every heavy day

You’re right beside me, you never walk away

My silent guardian, my only true company

You’re the shadow that keeps me from breaking completely

Verse 2

Some days I’m scared and I want to run

But you stay close, you’re the only one

When the walls feel like they’re closing in

You’re the strength I don’t have within

You don’t need words to know how I feel

You’re the one that makes the silence heal

No matter how dark the world can get

You’re my home, my safe bet

Bridge

Sometimes I wonder if you’re just a part of me

All the hurt and the hope that nobody sees

You’re the version that’s brave when I can’t be

The one that protects the little boy in me

We don’t need anyone else to understand

Just you and me, hand in shadowed hand

Final Chorus

Oh, my shadow friend, you hold me when I fall

You’re the quiet voice when it’s too loud and I feel small

You wrap around me like a second skin

You know the parts I never let them see again

Through every lonely night and every heavy day

You’re right beside me, you never walk away

My silent guardian, my only true company

You’re the shadow that keeps me going

Outro

Just me and you

In everything I do

You smile, I breathe

You’re always with me
