Lyrics ELE - Shadows

You try to get the best out of everyday

To look on the bright side of everything

We all have some versions of ourselves

And try to hide the dark ones away, hide them away.



You want to give the best of you to everyone

But you can’t cope with all the worries of the world.

You’d like to be the shoulder where they lean on

But sometimes you’re the one who needs help.

I need to find the stillness

Again inside me.

I need to take the shadows

Away from me.



You think because I smile and laugh everything is ok

But you are in the dark on what I have in my head.

My fears knock me down so I can not move

I collapse and they don’t let me be.

And then I close my eyes and start to see

I change weakness for strength

So I can think with clarity

And stop drowning in silence.



You try to get the best out of everyday

To look on the bright side of everything.

We all have different versions of ourselves

And we try to put our shadows away.
