Lyrics

What’s got me feeling so low
What’s got me feeling so mean
I need to find a place I can hide
‘Cause I don’t think I can come clean

Who left the blood in the sink
Who left the note on the door
He’s been leaving clues he’s wearing my shoes
And he’s left his bones on the floor.

But it’s only a shadow
He’s just a shadow
He’s just a flicker in the doorway where the light used to be

He’s burning bridges at night
He’s raining tears from the stage
He says he’s been a fool for being my tool
And he’s busting out of his cage

But he’s only a shadow
He’s just a shadow
He’s just a flicker in the doorway where the light used to be

How I wish I could be, I wish I could be
How I wish I could be, I wish I could be
A glimmer in the sky
A twinkle in your eye
A sunset on the ocean
A beacon in the night

Why can’t he reach out to me?
Why can’t he crawl ‘cross the floor
The help that I need
Is within his reach
Why can’t he open the door?

‘Cause he’s only my shadow
He’s just a shadow
He’s just a flicker in the doorway where the light used to be
(Wish I could be)
He’s just a flicker in the doorway
where the light used to be
