Shallow Lyrics
Sometimes it seems you just don't understand
The way I think and who I am
When I'm told, I'm told what I'm supposed to be
You think you know what's best for me
I want to see you standing next to me
Seems you got nothing much to say
And when you're dying lying next to me
I'll turn my head and walk away
Sometimes it seems I might be losing touch
Or maybe I just try too much
Now I, now I get told I'm crazy
Nothing you can say will phase me now
I want to see you standing next to me
Seems you got nothing much to say
And when you're dying lying next to me
I'll turn my head and walk away
I walk alone
My thoughts aren't always carved in stone
My life revolves according to me,
And what you say don't mean a fucking thing to me
Yeah, you'll see
I'll make it further on my own
I want to see you standing next to me
Seems you got nothing much to say
And when you're dying lying next to me
I'll turn my head and walk away
I want to see you standing next to me
Seems you got nothing much to say
And when you're dying lying next to me
I'll turn my head and walk away
The way I think and who I am
When I'm told, I'm told what I'm supposed to be
You think you know what's best for me
I want to see you standing next to me
Seems you got nothing much to say
And when you're dying lying next to me
I'll turn my head and walk away
Sometimes it seems I might be losing touch
Or maybe I just try too much
Now I, now I get told I'm crazy
Nothing you can say will phase me now
I want to see you standing next to me
Seems you got nothing much to say
And when you're dying lying next to me
I'll turn my head and walk away
I walk alone
My thoughts aren't always carved in stone
My life revolves according to me,
And what you say don't mean a fucking thing to me
Yeah, you'll see
I'll make it further on my own
I want to see you standing next to me
Seems you got nothing much to say
And when you're dying lying next to me
I'll turn my head and walk away
I want to see you standing next to me
Seems you got nothing much to say
And when you're dying lying next to me
I'll turn my head and walk away

This song hits so close to home for me. My ex boyfriend won't let me forget him. He keeps coming back into my life just when i start to get over him again. I would really like to turn the tables on him.
I want to see you standing next to me Seems you got nothing much to say And when you're dying lying next to me I'll turn my head and walk away
That line is the most important to me. For once i would like to be the one who doesn't care
Shallow... Definitly lives up to it's title and definitly one of their best songs.
I agree. Ex-boyfriends always make it hard to forget them. Whether its our fault or theirs, it would be nice to sit them down and play this song!!
"I walk alone My thoughts aren't always carved in stone My life revolves according to me, And what you say don't mean a fucking thing to me Yeah, you'll see I'll make it further on my own"
this line says it all. it's saying fuck the world, do what you want
it's about being fed up with a relationship. for once you wanna tell the person that you are done with him/her and don't care anymore. great song!
The acoustic version of this song rocks too.
I think it's really sweet! they have reissued this song on the Hit List
