My Shadow (Acoustic) ft. Ellie Wyatt Lyrics

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
