Shadows Lyrics by We Are Messengers

We Are Messengers

2016

[Verse 1]
I've been chasing shadows
Cheap reflections of Your face
Been searching for what matters
But all they've done is pull me away

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart is craving more than this
I know that You are what I've missed

[Chorus]
I don't want to chase the shadows
Don't want to chase the shadows
I want the real thing, not just the feeling
I won't settle for less than You
I don't want to chase the shadows
Don't want to chase the shadows

[Verse 2]
What I thought would fill me
Left an emptiness in the end
Cause You're the one and only
That colors life through a perfect lens

[Pre-Chorus]
You are all the joy I need
You're the only light I see

[Chorus]
I don't want to chase the shadows
Don't want to chase the shadows
I want the real thing, not just the feeling
I won't settle for less than You
I don't want to chase the shadows
Don't want to chase the shadows

[Bridge]
Get me out in the light, where my heart can be true
Only You satisfy, only You make me new
Through the static and noise, I'm reaching for You
I'm reaching for You

[Chorus]
I don't want to chase the shadows (I'm reaching for You)
Don't want to chase the shadows (I'm reaching for You)
I want the real thing, not just the feeling
I won't settle for less than You
I don't want to chase the shadows (I'm reaching for You)
Don't want to chase the shadows (I'm reaching for You)
I don't want to chase the shadows (I'm reaching for You)
Don't want to chase the shadows
I've been chasing shadows
