Shape Of My Shadow lyrics
by Noah Kahan
Lyrics From Live Performance
[Verse 1]
There's somebody in my body
He's awake when I'm asleep
And he's making me feel ugly
And he's making me feel weak
I met him when I was younger
And he's lived with me since then
And we argue with each other
In the end, he always wins
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm so terrified
That I'm forgetting which side I'm on
He tells nothing but lies
So, why do I believe every one?
[Chorus]
So, when you tell me, love
"You're gonna wear yourself thin"
Oh, don't I wish
"You must be healthy 'cause you don't look sick"
So, please stop asking why my clothes don't fit
'Cause I don't know, I don't know
"You're gonna wear yourself thin"
Oh, don't I wish
"You must be healthy 'cause you don't look sick"
Oh, please stop asking why my clothes don't fit
'Cause I don't know, I don't know
[Post-Chorus]
But it's every f*cking mirror
Department store windows
Puddles of water
The shape of my shadow
It's every f*cking mirror
Department store windows, Lord
Every puddle of water
The shape of my shadow
[Verse 2]
There's a thousand different voices
Telling me I shouldn't care
But he blocks out all them noises
He's the only one that's there
And he's so goddamn convincing
Yes, he pulls on every string
I don't know who I am without him
He's taken everything from me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm so terrified
That I'm forgetting which side I'm on
He tells nothing but lies
So, why do I believe every one?
[Chorus]
So, when you tell me, love
"You're gonna wear yourself thin"
Oh, don't I wish
"You must be healthy 'cause you don't look sick"
Oh, please stop asking why my clothes don't fit
'Cause I don't know, I don't know
"You're gonna wear yourself thin"
Oh, don't I wish
"You must be healthy 'cause you don't look sick"
Oh, please stop asking why my clothes don't fit
'Cause I don't know, I don't know
[Post-Chorus]
But it's every f*cking mirror
Department store windows
Puddles of water
The shape of my shadow
It's every f*cking mirror
Department store windows, oh, God
Every puddle of water
The shape of my shadow
[Bridge]
I ain't hungry
I ain't hungry
I ain't hungry, Lord
I ain't hungry, no
I ain't hungry
I ain't hungry
I ain't hungry, but I eat, eat, eat
[Post-Chorus]
But it's every f*cking mirror
Department store windows
Puddles of water
The shape of my shadow
It's every f*cking mirror
Department store windows
Every puddle of water
The shape of my shadow
