Britney Spears – Shadow Lyrics

Album on In the Zone

[Verse 1]
Your body’s warm, but you are not
You give a little, not a lot
It could be love until we kiss
You’re all I want, but not like this
I’m watching you disappear
But you, you were never here

[Chorus]
It’s only your shadow
Never yourself
It’s only your shadow
Nobody else
It’s only your shadow
Filling the room
Arriving too late
And leaving too soon
And leaving too soon

[Verse 2]
Your body gives, but then holds back
The sun is bright, the sky is black
Can only be another sign
I cannot keep what isn’t mine
Your laughter, it lingers on
But you, you were almost gone

[Chorus]
It’s only your shadow
Never yourself
It’s only your shadow
Nobody else
It’s only your shadow
Filling the room
Arriving too late
And leaving too soon
And leaving too soon

[Bridge]
How can I tell if you mean what you say?
You say it so loud, but you sound far away
Maybe I had just a glimpse of your soul
Or was that your shadow I saw on the wall?
I’m watching you disappear
But you, you were never here

[Chorus]
It’s only your shadow
Never yourself
It’s only your shadow
Nobody else
It’s only your shadow
Filling the room
Arriving too late
No, no, no
It’s only your shadow
It’s only your shadow
Nobody else
It’s only your shadow
Arriving too late
And leaving too soon
Ooh, oh
It’s only your shadow
