My true colors won't be washing out in the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause the past won't leave me alone in peace
But I can still sleep at night

Cause the past won't leave me alone in peace
But I can still sleep at night
You won't hear me give no apologies
But everything that goes around is coming back around
[Chorus]
My shadows follow me around
My shadows follow me around
My shadows follow me around
My shadows follow me around
