Just A Shadow

Speak louder, they can't hear
Walk through, invisible and clear
Darling can't be seen
Just don't fit in
Speak over me
Voice is silent and soft
What is the cost
That must be paid
Before I fade away.

Little shadow just won't go
Do they see, do they know
Never center stage
Never part of the show
Little shadow needs to go
You can be replaced
But they won't let you go.

No matter what you say
They won't ever hear
No matter how you look
They won't care to see
No matter who you be
You'll never be more than you are
Go on and try to be the star
But they'll be gone by then
The show is over
No love for you.

Little shadow just won't go
Do they see, do they know
Never center stage
Never part of the show
Little shadow needs to go
You can be replaced
But they won't let you go.

Replaced
Left to fade
Little shadow
You were made
To be this way
Forgotten
You can't fit in
Never be one of us
You are not enough.

Come to hate us
Come to resent us
Take it out on us
But you will not change
You don't matter
Just go away.

Little shadow just won't go
Do they see, do they know
Never center stage
Never part of the show
Little shadow needs to go
You can be replaced
But they won't let you go.

Fade away, little shadow
No one will know
Goodbye, little shadow.
