[Intro]
[Primeira Parte]
Wanna know where I don t go
When it goes from OK to a oh no
When it goes from hi five to a low blow
When it goes from all five to a solo
Lemme tell you what you don t know
I been down so low I was
Looking for something but denying that I found it
There s an elephant sitting in the room
And I can t find another way to tiptoe around it
I been doing greater good for a long time
But I can t find any other way to give now
I been putting myself on the sideline
And it s been time so I m saying can I live now
There are times when I kick myself
Say I m not sick but I can t get well
Say I got this while I chase my tail
As if they can t tell
[Refrão]
I m running from my shadow
Running from my shadow
But it s still there chasing me down
I ll never win the battle
Never win the battle and
I should have known it by now
Just when I think I ve found the end
I m going back around again
Running from my shadow
Running from my shadow
But it s still there chasing me down
[Segunda Parte]
Light side s got a dark side to it
Daytime flows into night like fluid
The yin and the yang with a curved line through it
And none of it s illuminating why I do it
Maybe I didn t want to chase what was not right
Maybe I didn t want to face you were offsides
Thinking I was far away from a crossed line
But I was giving soft praise to a hard lie
There are things that you say and you don t say
My tongue s gotten real tired of me biting it
Cause I keep on following the wrong way
Time s come and I can t keep denying it
There are times when I kick myself
Say I m not sick but I can t get well
Say I got this while I chase my tail
As if they can t tell
[Refrão]
I m running from my shadow
Running from my shadow
But it s still there chasing me down
I ll never win the battle
Never win the battle and
I should have known it by now
Just when I think I ve found the end
I m going back around again
Running from my shadow
Running from my shadow
But it s still there chasing me down
[Ponte]
I love you but I know
I gotta let you go
Dancing with the devil
Cause she s all I ve ever known
Wanted to pretend
That this time was the end
Sorry but I guess
I gotta let you down again
Again
Again
N.C.
Running from my shadow
Now my shadow is my only friend
[Solo]
Running from my shadow
But it s still there chasing me down
( )
Running from my shadow
Running from my shadow
But it s still there chasing me down
