Caution: You are now annotating this song as
[Verse 1]
Did you know that you could be wrong
And swear you’re right
Some people been known to do it
All their lives

But you find yourself alone
Just like you found yourself before

Like I found myself in pieces
On the hotel floor

Hard times help me see

[Hook]
I’m a good man with a good heart
Had a tough time, got a rough start
But I finally learned to let it go
Now I’m right here, and I’m right now

And I’m hoping, knowing somehow
That my shadow days are over
My shadow days are over now


[Verse 2]
Well I ain't no trouble maker
And I never meant her harm
But it doesn’t mean I didn’t make it
Hard to carry on

Well it sucks to be honest (Honest)
And it hurts to be real

But it's nice to make some love
That I can finally feel

Hard times let me be

[Hook x2]

About Shadow Days

John Mayer is finally ready to let go of Jennifer Aniston — in song form, at least.

Although they broke up nearly three years ago, Mayer (whose exes also include Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt) penned his single “Shadow Days” (from the album Born and Raised) with Aniston in mind.

“Shadow Days is about Jen,” a source told Us Weekly. “It really took him a long time to get over her. He really loved her a lot.”
