lost in the shadows

Verse 1

I do it, time after time after time

Pour my heart out, toe the line

For everyone else, I stand and fight

But when I wake, there’s nothing inside

Pre-Chorus

I don’t know why I keep giving away

All of me, all of me, day after day

(day after day)

Chorus

Every time I rise, I feel so hollow

I give my all, but what do I follow?

I want, I need, but it slips through my hands

I’m lost in the shadows of other people’s plans

Verse 2

Never asking, never taking my share

I’m just a ghost, always there

The world moves on, I stay behind

Chasing nothing, leaving me blind

Pre-Chorus

I don’t know why I keep giving away

All of me, all of me, day after day

Chorus

Every time I rise, I feel so hollow

I give my all, but what do I follow?

I want, I need, but it slips through my hands

I’m lost in the shadows of other people’s plans

Bridge

Maybe one day I’ll wake for myself

Stop filling their cups, put mine on the shelf

Until then, I’m empty, fading away

Time after time, every single day

Chorus / Outro

Every time I rise, I feel so hollow

I give my all, but what do I follow?

I want, I need, but it slips through my hands

I’m lost in the shadows of other people’s plans

(I’m lost in the shadows)

lost in the shadows

of other people’s plans
