Lyrics
IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR DREAMS
V1:
I have done as you said,
through out my life
Never challenged your Authority!
You have won everytime,
you take away my pride
And you leave me with a thorn, to bleed
Pre-Chorus:
Now I finally find
What gives me happiness in life
And you treat it like a joke,
Like it's a waste of time!
Chorus:
Throw me a line by letting go
Is it my life or your goals?
Can't you see I'm drowning?
I've tried, but I can't survive so deep
In the shadow of your dreams
V2:
Look into your stubborn heart!
What do you see?
Do you really do it all for me?
Or are you just trying to live through me,
Salvaging your broken dreams?
Pre-Chorus:
Now I have my own dream,
To see my name in lights
And you treat it with contempt,
Like it's a heinous crime!
Chorus:
Throw me a line by letting go
Is it my life or your goals?
Can't you see I'm drowning?
I've tried, but I can't survive so deep
In the shadow of your dreams
Bridge:
Seems you've got my whole life planned
And all my aspirations banned
Feels like the walls are closing in
Tunnel vision is my greatest sin
There's never been higher stakes
Not gonna bend, but I will brake
Chorus:
Throw me a line by letting go
Is it my life or your goals?
Can't you see I'm drowning?
Guess I'll die without feeling free
Deep in the shadow of your dreams
Outro:
Why wouldn't you listen to me?
