Lyrics

Yeah, wanna know where I don't go?
 When it goes from okay to a oh, no
 When it goes from hi-five to a low blow
 When it goes from all five to a solo
 Lemme tell you what you don't know
 I've been down, so low
 I was looking for something, but denying that I found it
 There's an elephant sitting in the room
 And I can't find another way to tiptoe around it
 I been doing greater good for a long time
 But I can't find any other way to give now
 I been putting myself on the sideline
 And it's been time so I'm saying can I live now
 There are times when I kick myself
 Say I'm not sick, but I can't get well
 Say I got this, while I chase my tail
 As if they can't tell
 I'm running from my shadow
 Running from my shadow
 But it's still there, chasing me down
 I'll never win the battle
 Never win the battle and I should have known it by now
 Just when I think I've found the end, ohh
 I'm going back around again, ohh
 Running from my shadow
 Running from my shadow
 But it's still there, chasing me down
 Yeah, yeah, light side's got a dark side to it
 Daytime flows into night like fluid
 The yin and the yang with a curved line through it
 And none of it's illuminating, why I do it
 Maybe I didn't want to chase what was not right
 Maybe I didn't want to face, you were offsides
 Thinking I was far away from a crossed line
 But I was giving soft praise to a hard lie
 There are things that you say and you don't say
 And my tongue's gotten real tired of me biting it
 'Cause I keep on following the wrong way
 And time's come and I can't keep denying it
 There are times when I kick myself
 Say I'm not sick, but I can't get well
 Say I got this, while I chase my tail
 As if they can't tell
 I'm running from my shadow
 Running from my shadow
 But it's still there, chasing me down
 I'll never win the battle
 Never win the battle and I should have known it by now
 Just when I think I've found the end, ohh
 I'm going back around again, ohh
 Running from my shadow
 Running from my shadow
 But it's still there chasing me down
 I love you but I know
 I gotta let you go
 Dancing with the devil 'cause she's all I've ever known
 I wanted to pretend
 That this time was the end
 Sorry, but I guess I gotta let you down again
 ♪
 Again
 Again
 I'm running from my shadow, now my shadow is my only friend
 ♪
 Running from my shadow
 But it's still there chasing me down
 ♪
 Running from my shadow
 Running from my shadow
 But it's still there chasing me down
