I am but a shadow,
The one that you don't see,
I am but a whisper,
To you that's all I'll be,
I am so unimportant,
Just a pawn in your cruel game,
I'm with you every single day,
But you cannot say my name,
To you I'm but a shadow,
An imaginary thing,
If one day you hear of me,
Will some distant bell it ring?
No.
For I am but a shadow,
A whisper to your ear,
I fade into the darkness,
As if I am not here,
If I were to say a word,
You would not hear my voice,
In my death, no sadness to behold,
Yet no one to rejoice,
I am but a passing wind,
Nothing special here,
I am not someone to be noticed,
My fading image is unclear,
I'm trapped in your yesterday,
To you I am not real,
You can't see I am human,
You know not that I feel,
For I am but a shadow,
A fading glimmer of who you used to be,
I'm forever lost in memories,
Yet I made you who'll you'll be.
