Shadow

I feel like your shadow 
I'm always with you but more for comfort 
I'm constantly asked to be with you but I'm fed up
I just don't want to be with you anymore 

Just leave me but I know you can't 
You just want my attention, nothing else 
I just want my time in the sun 
You've had enough of it now

You tell me you've been well looked after but it seems like you're lying 
The attention you demand is too much 
I'm always hesitating but I always end up staying 
You use me and I don't want that anymore

Why do you show me love if you don't care?
You just want me
I don't want you 
Why do you not go to someone else?

I'm just your shadow
I can't get rid of you but I'm going to try 
You don't need followers 
You need yourself
