"Chasing Shadows" lyrics

(Oh, oh)

We were running after something
We got close but couldn't touch it
Over time, the lies have finally come to light
We got too far down the road
To change our minds and let it go
So I tried to ride it out and save my pride

It was a dead end every time
You normalized ignoring signs

Yeah, we fought that fight and we faked those smiles
And it felt alright for a little while
Oh, but hindsight shows this was never love
We were never close, just chasing shadows

(Oh, oh)

We were feeding on illusion
Living off of our excuses
Saying it's a season that we won't be in for long
Putting faith in our potential, betting on the stars
Knowing it ain't accidental that we wound up where we are

It was a dead end every time
Looking back, no wonder why

Yeah, we fought that fight and we faked those smiles
And it felt alright for a little while
Oh, but hindsight shows this was never love
We were never close, just chasing shadows

(Oh) Chasing shadows
(Oh) Chasing shadows
Never even close

Yeah, we fought that fight and we faked those smiles
And it felt alright for a little while
Oh, but hindsight shows this was never love
We were never close, just chasing shadows

(Oh) Chasing shadows
(Oh)
(Oh) Never even close
(Oh) Just chasing shadows
