Don't you get tired of painting this picture Writing your book it gets thicker and thicker It's an illusion and I'm nowhere in it You just don't wanna admit it So I watch from the sidelines while you make believe Talk to a version of me that is phoney You'd rather doubt me act like you don't know me How don't you know me When I'm with you it gets lonely In your delusions you're cozy I'm just a shadow you're chasing Time that you're wasting Someone to blame, yeah You're trying to erase it Mistakes that you're making The truth you can't face it I'm not the one that you write about It's just a script and it's fiction, just things that you lie about 'Cause you never hear me out But then when I leave I'm the one you can't live without You're all alone and you're struggling 'Cause you get what you give You're all alone and you're suffering But you still won't admit it I'm here like this could us, lets be merry You keep on pushing and pulling and pushing me away like I'm strapped up, got license to carry But I'm not that scary It's like you don't know me When I'm with you it gets lonely In your delusions you're cozy I'm just a shadow you're chasing Time that you're wasting Someone to blame, yeah You're trying to erase it Mistakes that you're making The truth you can't face it 'Cause you think I'm holding the gun But you're just afraid of what you'll become Feels like you're on the run But its really you that you're still running from You think I'm holding the gun But you're just afraid of what you'll become And you're always on the run But you're the one you're running from
