Mornings after still lingers
Just waking up, I see a shadow of you
Making breakfast for two
I go driving, past our place
And I see this girl walk by, I smell her perfume
For a moment I wish she was you
I'm not gonna tell you
I'm not gonna say that I'm okay, no
I'm trying to get over
I'm trying to get far away from our mistakes
But I see shadows everywhere that I go
It's you, reminding me
Of how we were, of how it was
I see shadows, everywhere they follow
It's you and memories of how to love
I've had enough of your shadows
Four months gone, I can't feel you
I don't understand it, where did you go?
I hate that you're all that I know
I'm not gonna tell you
I'm not gonna say that I'm okay, no
I'm trying to get over
I'm trying to get far away from our mistakes
But I see shadows everywhere that I go
It's you, reminding me
Of how we were, of how it was
I see shadows, everywhere they follow
It's you and memories of how we loved
I've had enough of your shadows
You couldn't love me so why won't you leave me?
(Shadows)
Alone is the only place I want to be
I see shadows everywhere that I go
It's you, reminding me
Of how to love, I've had enough
I see shadows, everywhere they follow
It's you and memories of how we loved
I've had enough of your shadows
It's you and memories of how we loved
I've had enough of your shadows
Your shadows
Just waking up, I see a shadow of you
Making breakfast for two
I go driving, past our place
And I see this girl walk by, I smell her perfume
For a moment I wish she was you
I'm not gonna say that I'm okay, no
I'm trying to get over
I'm trying to get far away from our mistakes
It's you, reminding me
Of how we were, of how it was
I see shadows, everywhere they follow
It's you and memories of how to love
I've had enough of your shadows
I don't understand it, where did you go?
I hate that you're all that I know
I'm not gonna say that I'm okay, no
I'm trying to get over
I'm trying to get far away from our mistakes
It's you, reminding me
Of how we were, of how it was
I see shadows, everywhere they follow
It's you and memories of how we loved
I've had enough of your shadows
(Shadows)
Alone is the only place I want to be
It's you, reminding me
Of how to love, I've had enough
It's you and memories of how we loved
I've had enough of your shadows
It's you and memories of how we loved
I've had enough of your shadows

In my opinion: The song is about a relationship ending in a bad place.
-In the beginning: You can see that he's hurting. Everything he sees now, reminds him of the breakup. Everything he sees reminds him of her. Time passes and he wishes he knew HOW to get over her. He wishes he knew how to leave it all behind. She did and now all that's left for him are the memories, the shadows.
He knows he needs to get away from the memories. He needs to leave and he needs to get out of her shadows.
It's not that easy for him though. He feels that he can't leave because she was all he ever knew. He doesn't know HOW to leave it all behind and he desperately wishes he did.
He knows that he needs to start over. He knows he needs to get away and leave it all behind.
-By the end of the song: He doesn't want to live his life this way any longer. He no longer wants to compare everything to her.
She'd moved on so easily and he wishes he could do the same.
