Shallow

So close yet so distant
Fading face embraces resistant
Words kept hidden
And shadows dark
Your forbidden heart is shallow
Your emotions are hallow
You haven’t learned, it’s time.
Cause you ain’t comin' back
It’ll never be the same old song
The cards are stacked
And time’s run out
And everything’s a game.
So sing me your lullaby
'cause I need to know why
why I keep fallin'
Keep fallin'
You know you’re shallow
Used to be at the top, now you’ve dropped
Lost all your common sense and now your brain’s stopped
There’s nothing left in your mind except yourself
You gave it all up — your home, your friends and yourself.
Now you’re out on your own, you’ve lost your soul
Get a hold of yourself — know your role.
So close yet so distant
Fading face embraces resistant
Words kept hidden
And shadows dark
Your forbidden heart is shallow
Your emotions are hollow
You haven’t learned, it’s time
Ain’t comin' back
