There’s a little ghost in my heart, We’re roommates you see, My little shadow and I. And when times get rough She gives me medicine to keep the walls From crashing down And I give her beautiful bedtime stories And write out her songs. The only reason I’ve survived has been because of my Pretty little ghost, My lonely little shadow. So Why Would you try and take her? She’s mine. She’s my heart, The only beat that steadies my tune The only real ground in the sky. She is mine to reveal. I guess I shouldn’t have shown her to you in the first place But I hate that trust can be such a backstabber, And I trusted you. I trusted you to keep your distance, I didn’t want you to dig so deep. Even now she whispers that you can’t fault Rain for falling, Even if it is the cause of your cold. So I won’t blame you. But I guess that right now all I’m saying is Please, Leave me with my Shadow.
