I'm Not Your Shadow (A Song)
[Introduction from "Happy Together" by The Turtles.]
(Verse 01)
I can't see me loving nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me
Baby the skies will be blue
For all my life
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
[Introduction from "Happy Together" by The Turtles. (Above) ]
Too much build-up
I’m so clogged up
You cut through my heart
Dad, your razor sharp
Do you remember
All the years you abused me
Used me, threw me, spat on me and chewed me?
Do you feel the agony I’ve went through
With nobody to talk to when I came home from school?
You leave me here with no choice but to pray
Thanks a lot, daddy
All the pieces are thrown away.
I can’t hide it
There is too much pain
(Chorus)
Daddy, I can’t stay
Call me a runaway
I don’t care
I’m left without choices
Daddy, I can’t stay
The most I can learn is from myself
When there is nobody else to hold me
I’m a shadow of your boyhood
Daddy, I can’t stay
Let this be
Our last and only
Controversy
So hush and goodnight
I tucked you in, sleep tight
I won’t sleep my life away
(Verse 02)
I hope you know
This is my last letter
While I was gone
I hope you didn’t plan
A show
Like all the times before
I’ll be okay
I’ve starved for days
I lived my life anyway
So don’t grow upset
You’re not full grown yet
You lost your chance to satisfy
Daddy, you can look up to me now
And remember big boys
Don’t cry
(Chorus)
Daddy, I can’t stay
Call me a runaway
I don’t care
I’m left without choices
Daddy, I can’t stay
The most I can learn is from myself
When there is nobody else to hold me
I’m a shadow of your boyhood
Daddy, I can’t stay
Let this be
Our last and only
Controversy
So hush and goodnight
I tucked you in, sleep tight
I won’t sleep my life away
(Verse 03)
I have my choices
I’m not your shadow
You wished I was gone
I’m gone to you as can be.
Daddy, I can’t stay
Let this be
Our last and only
Controversy
So hush and goodnight
I tucked you in, sleep tight
I won’t sleep my life away
