When you were a child, you used to know me
You used to hold me with the edge of your teeth
It was a rainy day but you didn't let me in
You said I didn't belong here
I didn't belong here

But I had to prove that I wasn't moved
I'm only a shadow

When you were so little
You used to think of me all the time
But you pretended that I couldn't have existed
Just a speck of light
You just brushed me off, off your shoulders
Cause it felt like too much light

But I had to prove that I wasn't moved
I'm only a shadow

When you were so young
You thought that I could change your world
You danced around me in circles
You burnt really bright

But I had to prove that I wasn't moved
I'm only a shadow

I burnt really bright just to change your mind
Until you grew up and took my hand
And led me across the flame

But I had to prove that I wasn't moved
I'm only a shadow
