  • Morning after
    Still lingers
    Just waking up
    I see a shadow of you
    Making breakfast for two
    I go driving
    Past our place and
    I see this girl walk by
    I smell her perfume
    For a moment I wish it was you

    I'm not gonna tell ya
    I'm not gonna say that I'm okay, no
    I'm tryin' to get over
    I'm tryin' to get far away from our mistakes

    But I see shadows
    Everywhere that I go
    It's you, reminding me
    Of how we were
    Of how it was
    I see shadows
    Everywhere they follow
    It's you and memories
    Of how we loved
    I've had enough of your shadows

    Four months gone
    I can't feel you
    I don't understand it
    Where did you go?
    I hate that you're all that I know

    I'm not gonna tell ya
    I'm not gonna say that I'm okay, no
    I'm tryin' to get over
    I'm tryin' to get far away from our mistakes

    But I see shadows
    Everywhere that I go
    It's you, reminding me
    Of how we were
    Of how it was
    I see shadows
    Everywhere they follow
    It's you and memories
    Of how we loved
    I've had enough of your shadows

    You couldn't love me
    So why won't you leave me?
    Shadows
    Alone is the only place I want to be

    I see shadows
    Everywhere that I go
    It's you, reminding me
    Of how to love
    I've had enough
    I see shadows
    Everywhere they follow
    It's you, the memories
    Of how we loved
    I've had enough Writer/s: ALEXANDER JAMES MCLEAN, RYAN B. TEDDER

    the rainbow
