[Verse 1]
How was it that my love never measured up to yours
When my pain was weighed on a different scale
How were you so sure I'd fail?
I did everything I could to escape you
But I couldn't escape your shadow
I'd cover it with light
But it would always bleed through
It robs my dreams
And steals my identity
It whispers that I'm not you
[Chorus]
I loved you but did you love me?
When you would hurt me like I was nothing?
My feelings treated as though they were shallow
My light always killed by your shadow
[Verse 2]
Our pain was never treated the same
The love I felt, you'd play it like a game
It soured in my mouth until it tasted like shame
You go on living as though my pain never existed
The war i waged inside was a place you never visited
[Chorus]
I loved you but did you love me?
When your shadow was all I was meant to be?
My feelings treated as though they were shallow
My light always killed by your shadow
Who am I?
What's my identity?
Please tell me
Is this all I was meant to be?
