Have you heard
the story about the girl
Who fell in love
with her shadow
She was just a child
when it happened
one night witnessing
an unbearable scene
The shadow said
"I'll protect you
from the truth
as long as you
protect me from the sun.
And if you'll stay
with me here in the dark
I'll embrace every inch
of your unhappy soul"
She had all
her dreams in sight
But she refused
to step out in the light
She was loved by everyone,
but was in love
with her shadow.
The shadow always
reminded her of
She was over head
and ears in debt to him
And everytime
she tried to run away
He held the truth
up to her weary eyes
Shadow land
an imaginary place
But everything in there
just looks so real
Hard to find a way out
when you're there
Hard to be clear
Hard to be clear
But in the deep
river of her heart
She knew that
she could change
her state of mind
If only she
dared to see again
The reasons why
she fell in love that night
And then one day
she knew exactly
what to do
She stood up tall
and opened up her eyes.
And then she said
"I don't need you anymore,
and I'm not even sure
I ever did"
She had all
her dreams in sight
And suddenly
he stepped out in the light
Now she was loved
by everyone,
even by her shadow.
Shadow land
an imaginary place
But everything in there
just looks so real
Hard to find a way out
when you're there
Hard to be clear(x2)
Hard to be clear
