In the shadows see you as happy and free Because that's what you them to see Living two lives, happy, but not You live in the shadows for fear of someone hurting your family or the you love The world is and they say it's time to be free But you live with the fear of being me Living in the shadow feels the safe place to be No harm for them, no for me But life is short, and time to be free Love who you love, life isn't guaranteed
