Alexandra Burke - Shadow lyrics

Oh yeah

The birds and the trees
They don't sing no more
These autumn leaves are lying
Down on the floor
Just like mister love, we gonna let it fall
Oh yeah
Ain't nothing left but a picture frame
You're forgetting my face
So don't say my name don't wanna break down
It's going up in flames

Yeah, you got me running down the wrong road
Yeah, I'm swimming in the shallows
That's not the love that I seek
In what you're giving to me
I want a love that runs deep
Want it as deep as the sea

Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
Try to run but I know
It's return to your ghost
I keep clinging to everything
I have once loved
But love don't live here anymore
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow

I have 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, oh
Like the bones of our love is
Buried deep in the ground
Like the wings of a dove
You can't be holding us down
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 shallows
That's not the love that I seek
In what you're giving to me
I want a love that runs deep
Want it as deep as the sea

Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
Try to run but I know
It's return to your ghost
I keep clinging to everything
I have once loved
But love don't live here anymore
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow

Time is running
Let the water come in from the sea
Wasting time on that 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) yeah, i'm swimming in the shallows
(swimming in the shallows)
That's not the love that I seek
In what you're giving to me
I want a love that runs deep
Want it as deep as the sea
(yeah, yeah, oh no)

Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
(on to your shadow, on to your shadow)
Try to run but I know
It's return to your ghost
I keep clinging to everything
I have once loved
But love don't live here anymore
Oh, but I just keep holding on to your shadow
(your shadow, shadow, shadow, oh)

I just keep holding on to your shadow
