A fresh coat of paint looks pretty On a house that's falling down A polished smile wins compliments In every little town You can dress up any story Till it almost passes through But when the lights all disappear... Your shadow knows the truth Your shadow knows the truth Long before the world ever will It sees every promise you abandoned Every dream you chose to kill Your shadow knows the truth It don't care what people say You can fool the whole wide world... Not the man you meet each day Some folks chase a good reputation Like it's money in the bank Buying praise with borrowed kindness Till the compliments run blank Character ain't built on Sundays Or speeches dressed in suits It's what you do on Tuesday morning... When nobody's watching you Your shadow knows the truth It remembers every lie Every bridge you chose to burn Every reason, every why Your shadow knows the truth It never looks away The mirror might forgive you... Your shadow never does I've learned not to trust perfection Life has taught me something else Give me calloused hands and honesty Before polished words that sell A man's worth ain't in his talking Or the logo on his shirt Soon enough the quiet moments... Separate the gold from dirt. Your shadow knows the truth That's the judge I fear the most Not because it's loud or angry... Just because it's always close Your shadow knows the truth No witness to persuade The hardest man you'll ever fool... Is the one your choices made Nowadays I sleep much better Since I quit performing life Turns out peace is a whole lot cheaper Than pretending every night If I leave this world tomorrow One thing's all I hope is true My shadow walks beside my name... Not ahead of it. Your shadow knows the truth That's enough for me these days I don't need another trophy Or strangers shouting out my praise Your shadow knows the truth So before you judge someone Make sure yours can stand beside you... When the setting sun has come A reputation... belongs... to other people. Character... belongs... to you.
