There was a time I was one of a kind Lost in the world, out of me, myself and I Was lonely then, like an alien I tried but I never figured it out Why I always felt like a stranger in a crowd Oh, that was then, like an alien But the stars in the sky look like home, take me home And the light in your eyes lets me know I'm not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Crossed through the universe to get where you are Travel the night, riding on a shooting star Was lonely then, like an alien Had to get used to the world I was on While yet still unsure if I knew where I belong Oh, that was then, like an alien But the stars in the sky look like home, take me home And the light in your eyes lets me know I'm not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone But the stars in the sky look like home, take me home And the light in your eyes lets me know I'm not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone Not alone, not alone, not alone

Your body's warm, but you are not You give a little, not a lot It could be love until we kiss You're all I want, but not like this I'm watching you disappear But you, you were never here It's only your shadow Never yourself It's only your shadow Nobody else It's only your shadow Filling the room Arriving too late And leaving too soon And leaving too soon Your body gives, but then holds back The sun is bright, the sky is black Can only be another sign I cannot keep what isn't mine You laughter, it lingers on But you, you were almost gone It's only your shadow Never yourself It's only your shadow Nobody else It's only your shadow Filling the room Arriving too late And leaving too soon And leaving too soon How can I tell if you mean what you say? You say it so loud, but you sound far away Maybe I had just a glimpse of your soul Or was that your shadow I saw on the wall? I'm watching you disappear But you, you were never here It's only your shadow Never yourself It's only your shadow Nobody else It's only your shadow Filling the room Arriving too late (No, no, no) It's only your shadow (Only your shadow) It's only your shadow Nobody else It's only your shadow Arriving too late and leaving too soon Ooh, oh It's only your shadow
