Am I still the shadow? Am I still the ghost of your dreams? Who am I? Who was the shadow in my dreams? Was it me or the thought of you? Your shadow still follows me It haunts me, the thought of you hurts My heart remembers our love like it was yesterday My head remembers the days when we were happy Yet I’ve realized that the past won’t change All I can say is, “I miss you.” Your shadow haunts me, the past follows me I still wanna say, “I love you,” but we are no more Why couldn’t we make things work? Did we drift in the seas away from each other? Or did we just fall out of love? What could I have done to keep you in my arms forever? All I can say is, “I miss you,” but do you miss me? I can’t get over the thought of you No matter how much I’ve tried my thoughts just go back to you You got over me with the blink of an eye Do you still miss me, or have you already forgotten the love that we had?

The Shadow of My Old Lover
Am I still the shadow? Am I still the ghost of your dreams? Who am I? Who was the shadow in my dreams? Was it me or the thought of you? Your shadow still follows me It haunts me, the thought of you hurts My heart remembers our love like it was yesterday My head remembers the days when we were happy Yet I’ve realized that the past won’t change All I can say is, “I miss you.” Your shadow haunts me, the past follows me I still wanna say, “I love you,” but we are no more Why couldn’t we make things work? Did we drift in the seas away from each other? Or did we just fall out of love? What could I have done to keep you in my arms forever? All I can say is, “I miss you,” but do you miss me? I can’t get over the thought of you No matter how much I’ve tried my thoughts just go back to you You got over me with the blink of an eye Do you still miss me, or have you already forgotten the love that we had?
