You reached your hand out and I was quick to take it
Like sunlight it just fades away
And now I'm holding onto nothing
I reached my heart out and you were quick to break it
'cause I wasn't enough

But you go, and you leave me with the shadows
Of all the things you didn't want to keep
Now I know that you'll forget me with the shadows
And in the dark I see that you're not meant for me

I want to find out what it takes to reach you
When I'm close enough to hear you breathe
But you still keep your distance
In this dim light, it's easy not to notice
Or I'm not enough

But you go, and you leave me with the shadows
Of all the things you didn't want to keep
Now I know that you'll forget me with the shadows
And in the dark I see that you're not meant for me

I reach my hand out, it just fades to nothing
I'll fade to nothing
And you won't let me reach you
And in the dark I see
No, you won't let me reach you

But you go, and you leave me with the shadows
Of all the things you didn't want to keep
Now I know that you'll forget me with the shadows
And in the dark I see that you're not meant for me

Oh, don't leave me in the shadows
In the dark I see
