Sam Tsui - Shadow Lyrics






Bags all packed, make sure you remember everything
No looking back, no more; not for anything.
This is what you wanted, isn't it?
Clear it out just like you've never been
What's a goodbye good for, anyway?

There's nothing left of you to remind me
But somehow you're still standing behind me

I'm trying hard to forget you
But my empty walls won't let me let you go
When you took it all, you forgot your shadow
You say you wish me well without you
But something 'bout you tells me that you know, oh oh

When you took it all you forgot
Your shadow, your shadow
When you took it all you forgot
Your shadow, your shadow, your shadow, oh oh

Hide all your photographs,
But I can feel you watching me
How long does your memory last?
It's time I ought to be
Moving on and getting over you
I bet it looks like I'm not even trying to
Here all alone, my past on the walls

With nothing left of you to remind me
So why are you still standing behind me

I'm trying hard to forget you
But my empty walls won't let me let you go
When you took it all, you forgot your shadow
You say you wish me well without you
But something 'bout you tells me that you know, oh oh

When you took it all you forgot
Your shadow, your shadow
When you took it all you forgot
Your shadow, your shadow, your shadow, oh oh

It's always there, too close, too much
The shape of something I can't touch
I turn, and find the shadow's grown
Those empty eyes I begged to stay
Are watching me from yesterday
You can leave me, can you leave me alone?

I'm trying hard to forget you
But my empty walls won't let me let you go
Let me go
You say you wish me well without you
But something 'bout you tells me that you know, oh oh

When you took it all you forgot
Your shadow, your shadow
When you took it all you forgot
Your shadow, your shadow, your shadow, oh oh

When you took it all you forgot
Your shadow, your shadow
Bags all packed, make sure you remember everything

    Słyszałem to kiedyś w biedronce i aż się zdziwiłem, że w ogóle słyszę ten głos gdzie indziej niż na yt. Chciałbym, żeby Sam był bardziej znany, bo zasługuje na znacznie więcej.

    Przy okazji pozdro dla polaków.

    I found this song at a point in my life where it expressed everything I couldn't say to a parent that could never stay long enough to put her children first. 6 years later and this is still the song that I listen to while I'm breaking down.

  33. S.... S....

    I'm pretty sure this is for Christina, she was a great friend to him, and now shes gone, all he has is the song just a dream cover with him with her, and that was the perfect song to what happens to her, everyone just tell her that she was a great friend, she dident deserve to leave this world, and that we love her, everyone is not always perfect

    S.... S....

    This song was written before the death of Christina Grimmie.

  34. L.... D....

    The first time I heard this song, it was at a live performance in Portland, Oregon. Sam was opening for Alex Goot. As much as I loved seeing Alex on stage, I definitely think Sam's energy stole the show. Back to this song, though, the day I heard it, I had also found out that my grandmother had passed away. I remember tearing up when I heard him sing it, and I think it was that which cemented my decision to buy his album after the show.

    Today is the six month anniversary of my father's death, and this song reminds me of him now as well. I think daddy would have loved Sam's music. RIP Daddy, I miss you.

  35. W.... P....

    Since this will be lost in a sea of comments, let me tell you a story.
    Late at night, a girl was sleeping on the couch with earbuds in listening to YouTube. An ad comes on and wakes the girl. She hears an amazing voice and an equally amazing song. She looked at the title and the artist and committed it to memory. When she woke up, amazingly, she remembered the amazing song she had heard in the middle of the night. She looked it up and added it to her Favorites. It quickly became one of her favorite songs and the artist became one of her favorite artists.
    That song was this song and that is the story of how I found the channel of Sam Tsui.

  89. A.... L....

    Am I the only the one still listening to this song in 2017

  90. I.... J....

    This song is so underrated :(

  91. M.... Z....

    I had a best friend. But every single day, i started to love her. Not as friend, but more than that. Then there's a guy who is also my friend likes her. He took step by step to approach her. I guess he succeeds now. She said she doesn't like anybody including that guy. But at that guy's birthday, she wished her in instagram. She just wished me in whatsapp but in a long essay 🤣. Still, i felt jealousy and offended. Then we fought and i blocked her. It has been months now but i still can't get her out of my head. And this song reminds me of her. 😢

  92. D.... D....

    Am I the only one who was scared that something's gotta pop out of that doorway at the end HAHA
