Not Your Shadow

🌫 INTRO (soft whisper)

You never saw me in the light
Just someone fading out your sight
I spoke in truth, you heard convenience
You called it love, I called it silence

⸻

🎤 VERSE 1

I was the echo in your space
A passing feeling, no real place
You reached for me when nights were cold
But left my hands when mornings showed

I gave my heart without a trade
You gave conditions love obeyed
You built your world on gain and cost
I learned how much of me was lost

⸻

🌘 PRE-HOOK

Don’t say I changed, I just woke up
Don’t say I’m distant, I’ve had enough
I step away to see my worth
To feel my voice, to feel my breath

⸻

🔥 HOOK (TRENDING / LOOPABLE)

I’m not your shadow anymore
I won’t stand outside your door
I need a love that sees my soul
Not something bought, not something sold

You chase power, you chase gold
I choose a heart that can’t be owned
I’m not your shadow — can’t you see?
I finally belong to me

(loop last line)

⸻

🎶 VERSE 2

I won’t disappear for your peace
Or shrink myself to keep belief
If you can’t love me when I’m real
Then what we had was never real

I’m done with being almost there
Half remembered, half repaired
I’d rather walk this road alone
Than live unseen beside a throne

⸻

🌑 BRIDGE (soft emotional drop)

I need to matter, I need to feel
A simple touch, something real
Not just a name you sometimes say
When loneliness gets in your way

⸻

🔥 FINAL HOOK (bigger)

I’m not your shadow anymore
I found the strength I lacked before
I need a love that sees my soul
Not something bought, not something sold

I’m not your shadow — I am free
I finally belong to me
