Story behind the song
Written for FAWM
Came up with this hook that relates to someone who puts their past experiences onto someone without discovering who they are first. Hope the oppression in the song comes across of someone who just wants to be taken on their own merits...
Lyrics
Living In Your Shadows
by Tammy
© 2014
I wanted to share my heart and more
and barely made it through the door
words still clinging to my lips
as you recite your own black list
they hurt you, used you, brought you down
you begin a full account
accuse me before I can speak
My feelings hurt, my thoughts retreat
chorus
I'm living in your shadows
of the past
and the darkness that they cast
I would never hurt you that way
it hurts me so
when you send another arrow
I'm living in your shadows
I have my own mysteries
and want you to discover me
but you will delve back into time
and accuse me of their crimes
chorus
I'm living in your shadows
of the past
and the darkness that they cast
I would never hurt you that way
it hurts me so
when you send another arrow
I'm living in your shadows
Bridge
I'm a book you can read
I'm a new memory
you don't know me yet
I'm not like anyone you've ever met
chorus
I'm living in your shadows
of the past
and the darkness that they cast
I would never hurt you that way
it hurts me so
when you send another arrow
I'm living in your shadows
