Shadow in the Shade - Color Theory

Once again he slips away

Like a shadow in the shade

You know I wouldn’t even whisper his name

If you don’t want me to stay

Darkness will conceal his shape

Like a shadow in the shade

You know you wouldn’t have to suffer in vain

If you don’t want me to stay I won’t

But please tell me

It’s a lonely direction, not to mention

When the demons come for you

The dreams you knew will hurt to

But I want to console you, not control you

You don’t have to be someone

For me, the past, or anyone

If he comes I’ll hide away

Like a shadow in the shade

I wouldn’t hesitate to make my escape

If you don’t want me to stay I’ll go

But you need me

Don’t you know that?

I could never…
