about

There is joy in saying everything you wish you’d said to someone who hurt you. A lightness of being comes when you shed the energy of people who pull you down and you cast off their shadow.

lyrics

Well, aren't you tragic, baby 
Caught up in the magic of your
Half-hearted fantasies
You're living off the sympathy
When all you really wanted was
To take the place of God 
And everyone
You'd really rather be  
You're just a shadow

Well, isn't it madness
Your addiction to this sadness 
When you have the ability
But never do it differently
And all you ever talk about
Is how the world has sold you out
With everything
As far as you can see
Casting shadows 

Shadows
That daylight throws
That never let you go
That never let you go

It's a bad ****ing habit
I bet you think you're cool to have it
And I don't know what you want from me 
I'm still not buying anything
And you can't give me my money back
You know I never wanted that  
'Cause everything
You beg and borrow and steal
Turns to shadows

So you can lie
You can try 
You can say how hard you cried
You can make your counterclaim
And you can say that I'm to blame 
I'm not playing anymore
It's just you keeping score
And you'll never win
You'll never win with me
So cast your shadows 

Shadows
That daylight throws
That never let you go
They'll never let you go
Shadows
They never let you go

Now the reason we're here
Every man, every woman
Is to help each other
Stand by each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good good
Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you - The Pretenders

At some point in my life, I heard this song and decided (before I knew I decided) that my life purpose was to send a "message of love". Be <3 ... more
