You'll never leave me
You'll never leave me
You'll never leave me
You'll never leave me

I wish I could have another minute, to finish this fairytale.
Hear your voice and get lost in it, cause all I got is broken details.
You were my world and everything in it, so how did you disappear.
I won't say it is over, cause you're still here.

You're my shadow, my shadow, I know you're close
My shadow, my shadow, you're everywhere I go
So I don't see the need to cry cause, you'll never leave my life
My shadow, my shadow, oh

You'll never leave me
You'll never leave me
You'll never leave me
You'll never leave me

I won't forget I will sit and reminisce, tell each other all our secrets.
To have you back would be my only wish (cause nobody knew me like you did).
The things you knew were all written in my diary, hide and seek open up and come and spy me.
Count to ten and I don't know what to feel
I can't feel, don't feel I can't feel.

My shadow, my shadow, I know you're close
My shadow, my shadow, you're everywhere I go
So I don't see the need to cry cause, you'll never leave my life.
My shadow, my shadow, you'll never leave me.

After all I swear you won't feel alone, my heartbeat's ticking like it's made from stone.
I won't let you down, get pushed down, fill me up again, yeah
I'm breaking, see I'm shaking, but I know your waiting, yeah yeah

You'll never leave me
You'll never leave me
You'll never leave me
You'll never leave me

My shadow, my shadow, I know you're close,
My shadow, my shadow, you're everywhere I go,
So I don't see the need to cry cause, you'll never leave my life.
My shadow, my shadow
My shadow, my shadow

You'll never leave me
You'll never leave me
You'll never leave me
You'll never leave me
