[Verse 1] There's a distinct difference between you and I What we have in common is that we're nothing alike You control the air and can ascend past the sky And I struggle just to prevent myself from being buried alive Behave in any way Act in any manner The focus of attention will always have you at its center Could you spare or share some of that glory with me No because we're waves on opposite frequencies [Chorus] Like a shadow I watch as you absorb my light You steal from me And I'm powerless to put up a fight Like a shadow I watch As you absorb my light You steal from me And I'm powerless to put up a fight Like a shadow I watch As you absorb my light You steal from me And I'm powerless to put up a fight [Verse 2] Enjoy your fame Celebrate your success While I cope with being second to the best Sleep peacefully You're worriless I'll suffer silently without rest This envy is nightmarish This spite is pure anguish Soon I'm going to perish If it's you That will not vanish You stand between me and happiness You distort my direction and make it aimless We're not on the same plane so we can't coexist If we both disappeared You'd be missed My goal to reach you is a fool's dream My plots for revenge are futile schemes My future My life is flowing downstream And yours is a river meant to be supreme [Chorus] Like a shadow I watch as you absorb my light You steal from me And I'm powerless to put up a fight Like a shadow I watch As you absorb my light You steal from me And I'm powerless to put up a fight Like a shadow I watch As you absorb my light You steal from me And I'm powerless to put up a fight Like a shadow Like a shadow Like a shadow Like a shadow Like a shadow I watch As you absorb my light You steal from me And I'm powerless to put up a fight
