My Shadow

She comes knocking at my door
Asking questions
I don't answer
What did I do that for
She comes looking for advice
Wish that I was open
But I shut her out each time

And she's never gonna
Hear me say I'm sorry
For all the times I've taken up her light
And I know she's hurting
She thinks I haven't noticed
That I've got to move aside
Coz she's waiting to take flight

So she beats her wings
Steps out of my shadow
Ready to fly away
She beats her wings
Her own path to follow
I won't stand in her way
Coz everything changes, changes
Nothing will stay the same
She beats her wings
Steps out of my shadow

She got swept up on my tide
She didn't ask to
Be part of this roller coaster ride
She just wants to be my friend
Like we were when harmony came easy
And our voices used to blend

But she's never gonna
Hear me say I'm sorry
For all the times I've taken up her light
And I know she's hurting
She thinks I haven't noticed
That I've got to move aside
Coz she's waiting to take flight

She beats her wings
Steps out of my shadow
Ready to fly away
She beats her wings
Her own path to follow
I won't stand in her way
Coz everything changes, changes
Nothing will stay the same
She beats her wings
Steps out of my shadow

Fly girl
Fly away
It's time to find your sky
Night turns into day
And I can't turn back time
So I will open doors and windows
Stand aside and watch as you go

She is everything I'm not
And everything I am
I hope she understands

She beats her wings
Steps out of my shadow
Ready to fly away
She beats her wings
Her own path to follow
I won't stand in her way
Coz everything changes, changes
Nothing can stay the same
She beats her wings
Steps out of my shadow
