Alexandra Burke premiered this song on the February 10, 2018 episode of Graham Norton’s BBC Radio 2 show. “‘Shadow’ is basically a song that I hope most people can relate to,” she told the host. “It’s about getting away from someone you love but you keep going back to the person you think you’re in...
[Intro]
Oh yeah
[Verse 1]
The birds and the trees, they don't sing no more
These autumn leaves are lying down on the floor
Just like mister love, we gonna let it fall, oh yeah
Ain't nothing left but a picture frame
You're forgetting my face, so don't say my name
Don't wanna break down, it's going up in flames
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you got me running down the wrong road
Yeah, I'm swimming in the shallows
That's not the love that I seek in what you're giving to me
I want a love that runs deep, want it as deep as the sea
[Chorus]
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
Try to run but I know it's return to your ghost
I keep clinging to everything I have once loved
But love don't live here anymore
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
[Verse 2]
I have the key to your heart, you changed the lock on the door
Won't even bother to knock, I know that nobody's home
You're not the person that I knew before, oh
Like the bones of our love is buried deep in the ground
Like the wings of a dove, you can't be holding us down
Let it go, let it go, yeah, forget all the vows
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you got me running down the wrong road
Yeah, I'm swimming in the shallows
That's not the love that I seek in what you're giving to me
I want a love that runs deep, want it as deep as the sea
[Chorus]
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
Try to run but I know it's return to your ghost
I keep clinging to everything I have once loved
But love don't live here anymore
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
[Bridge]
Time is running, let the water come in from the sea
Wasting time on that someone who's not meant to be
Let it go, let it go, go and set yourself free, free, free
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you got me running down the wrong road
(Yeah) yeah, I'm swimming in the shallows (swimming in the shallows)
That's not the love that I seek in what you're giving to me
I want a love that runs deep, want it as deep as the sea (yeah, yeah, oh no)
[Chorus]
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow (on to your shadow, on to your shadow)
Try to run but I know it's return to your ghost
I keep clinging to everything I have once loved
But love don't live here anymore
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow (your shadow, shadow, shadow, oh)
[Outro]
I just keep holding on to your shadow
