shadows in the dark

Im so proud of you,
to start from nothing
to go on to glory
you took me with you
yeah thats our story

you left me behind
even when you didn't
i swept alongside
kept up with your stride
you left me behind
where everything died

i kept it alive
stood head to head
had you by my side
the sunshine stole all that was left unsaid
in its wake my darkness cried
i realised then to myself i had lied

im so proud of you
even today i see you by my side
your slender frame oh so narrow
your dark eyes leave everything denied
light up my heart, take in all my pride
i open my eyes, mistaking what is left - the hint of your shadow by my side
