Lyric discussion by fairyinblacknwhite 

Cover art for Shadow lyrics by Britney Spears

It's about a girl who's in love with this guy. He wants her, but only on the shallow level of hooking up. She wants him to be more, to be there, to love her, but he won't. He doesn't really care about her. She wants so badly for him to be more, but she can't keep him. She'll never really have him.
