You give me the feeling that I'm going nowhere

Just by the look in your eyes

We wear the same exact color of purple

So what makes yours better than mine?

I've been lying in bed

Comparing my hair to the shade of your ceiling

I've been thinking about it

So much that I might start to believe it

Why do you make me your shadow?

Take me for granted and push me around, oh

Why do you make me your shadow?

I live in the dark every time you're around

No, it's not that I think you're particularly conscious

Of needing the light to yourself

As I try and I work for a glimpse of attention

Pathetically crying for help, oh

I've been lying in bed

Comparing my hair to the shade of your ceiling

I've been thinking about it

So much that I might start to believe it

Why do you make me your shadow?

Take me for granted and push me around, oh (Push me around)

Why do you make me your shadow?

I live in the dark every time you're around

So I'll get out of here

Won't go into detail

Quietly I disappear

And you won't miss me

Until I fall back in

And then you walk right out

So why do you make me your shadow?

Take me for granted and push me around

Why do you make me your shadow? (Why do you make)

I live in the dark every time, oh

Why do you make me your shadow? (Make me your shadow)

Take me for granted and push me around, oh (Push me around)

Why do you make me your shadow? (Make me your shadow)

I live in the dark every time you're around

Why do you make me your shadow? (Oh, oh)

Take me for granted and push me around (Push me around)

Why do you make me your shadow? (Make me your shadow)

I live in the dark (Dark) every time you're around
