about

This song is an encouragement to fill your life with people who care about you, challenge you, and love you as you are (and to not pay attention to the ones that don’t). With beautiful blends of vocal harmony, lush acoustic guitar, and emotional pedal steel lines, this song is both thought provoking and uplifting.

lyrics

Their shadows creep around you
At every turn
Their purpose pulls against you
As you have learned
There will always be those eyes
That wait for you to fall
Know that it comes as no surprise
That they aren’t worth it at all
No, shallow isn’t worth it at all

And no one ever tells you
How much it hurts
Life won’t always prepare you
For when things get worse
You have always been the type to
Take what you’ve endured
And turn it into something bright
You create your own allure
Yeah you create your own allure

If you show them something they can’t do
They’ll try to put a hole through you
Can’t stand the light that’s in your eyes
But you are passionate and strong
So you don’t have to play along
No point in bleeding from their lies
‘Cause you are loved, you are you, loved for you

Just take a look around you
People change
But the ones who truly love you
Won’t ever fade
So hold ‘em tightly as they are and
They’ll do the same for you
This shouldn’t come as a surprise
‘Cause this is what the good ones do
Yeah this is what the good ones do

If you show them something they can’t do
They’ll try to put a hole through you
Can’t stand the light that’s in your eyes
But you are passionate and strong
And you don’t have to play along
No point in bleeding from their lies
‘Cause you are loved, you are you, loved for you

Shallow isn’t worth it at all
