Your body's warm
But you are not
You give a little

Not a lot
You coup your love
Until we kiss

You're all I want
But not like this
I'm watching you disappear

But you, you were never here

It's only your shadow

Never yourself
It's only your shadow
Nobody else

It's only your shadow
Filling the room
Arriving too late

And leaving too soon
And leaving too soon


Your body gives
But then holds back
The sun is bright

The sky is black
Can only be another sign
I cannot keep what isn't mine

Your laughter it lingers on
But you, you were almost gone


It's only your shadow
Never yourself
It's only your shadow

Nobody else
It's only your shadow
Filling the room

Arriving too late
And leaving too soon
And leaving too soon


How can I tell if you mean what you say
You say it so loud, but you sound far away

Maybe I had just a glimpse of your soul
Or was that your shadow I saw on the wall
I'm watching you disappear

But you, you were never here

It's only your shadow

Never yourself
It's only your shadow
Nobody else

It's only your shadow
Filling the room
Arriving too late

No, no, no
It's only your shadow
It's only your shadow

Nobody else
It's only your shadow
Arriving too late

And leaving too soon

It's only your shadow
