The birds in the trees, they don't sing no more
These autumn leaves are lying dead on the floor
Just like Mr. Love, we gon' let it go
Ain't nothing left but a picture frame
You've forgotten my face, so don't speak my name
Don't water it down, it's going up in flames
Yeah, you got me running down the wrong road
Yeah, I'm swimming in the shadows
Cause the love that I see, and what you're giving to me
I want a love that runs deep, one in as deep as the sea
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
Try to run but I always return to your ghost
I keep clinging to everything I had once known
But love don't live here anymore
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
I had the key to your heart, you changed the lock on the door
Won't even bother to knock, I know that nobody's home
You're not the person that I knew before
Like the bones of a love that's buried deep in the ground
Like the wings of a dove, you can't be home in this town
Let it go, let it go, yeah, forget all the vows
Yeah, you got me running down the wrong road
Yeah, I'm swimming in the shadows
Cause the love that I see, and what you're giving to me
I want a love that runs deep, one in as deep as the sea
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
Try to run but I always return to your ghost
I keep clinging to everything I had once known
But love don't live here anymore
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
Time is running like the water coming from the sea
Wasting time loving someone who's not meant to be
Let it go, let it go, go and set yourself free, free, free, yeah
You got me running down the wrong road
Yeah, I'm swimming in the shadows
Cause the love that I see, and what you're giving to me
I want a love that runs deep, one in as deep as the sea
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
Try to run but I always return to your ghost
I keep clinging to everything I had once known
But love don't live here anymore
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
I just keep holding on to your shadow
