Lyrics:
If not for Christ I would surely fall Over myself and bear the fault Of all my deeds so terrible If not for Christ I would surely fall If not for Christ I would surely fall
If not for Christ I would surely break Under the weight of my mistakes And in my sin be kept away If not for Christ I would surely break If not for Christ I would surely break
It was for me He bled and died It was my sword that pierced His side It was my name that Jesus cried When on that tree He bled and died It was for me He bled and died
And now to Christ I owe it all He is to me a tower strong Salvation does to me belong It is to Christ I owe it all It is to Christ I owe it all
"Shallow" is a song performed by American singer Lady Gaga and American actor and filmmaker Bradley Cooper. It was released through Interscope Records on September 27, 2018 as the lead single from the soundtrack to the 2018 musical romantic drama film, A Star Is Born. "Shallow" was written by Gaga with Andrew Wyatt, Anthony Rossomando and Mark Ronson, and produced by Gaga with Benjamin Rice. The song is heard three times throughout the film, most prominently during a sequence when Cooper's character Jackson Maine invites Gaga's character Ally to perform it onstage with him. The scene was filmed in front of a live audience at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.
"Shallow" is a pivotal moment in A Star Is Born, since it speaks about Ally and Jackson's conversations. Gaga wrote it from Ally's point of view with the self-aware lyrics asking each other if they are content being who they are. A rock power ballad,[1] the song finds Gaga and Cooper trading verses and gradually moves towards the climactic final chorus with a vocal run by Gaga. The recording is interspersed with the sound of audience noise and applause. Gaga premiered it on DJ Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show while giving an interview about the film. An accompanying music video was also released, showing both Gaga's and Cooper's characters singing "Shallow" together onstage, interspersed with scenes from A Star Is Born.
"Shallow" received universal acclaim from music critics, who commended Gaga's vocals, the dramatic nature of the composition and the songwriting. Commercially, the song topped the charts in more than twenty countries and reached the top ten elsewhere. It received numerous accolades, including the Academy Award for Best Original Song, the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, the BAFTA Award for Best Film Music and the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Song. It garnered four Grammy Award nominations, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year while winning for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Song Written for Visual Media. As of May 2021, it is the 25th most streamed song on Spotify.

Lyrics
Tell me somethin', girl Are you happy in this modern world? Or do you need more? Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?
I'm fallin' In all the good times I find myself longin' for change And in the bad times, I fear myself
Tell me something, boy Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void? Or do you need more? Ain't it hard keepin' it so hardcore?
I'm falling In all the good times I find myself longing for change And in the bad times, I fear myself
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in I'll never meet the ground Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us We're far from the shallow now
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-llow In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-llow In the sha-ha-sha-ha-llow We're far from the shallow now
Oh, ha-ah-ah Ah, ha-ah-ah, oh, ah Ha-ah-ah-ah
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in I'll never meet the ground Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us We're far from the shallow now
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-llow In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-llow In the sha-ha-sha-ha-llow We're far from the shallow now

Lyrics:
What would I do without your smart mouth? Drawin' me in, and you kickin' me out You've got my head spinnin', no kiddin' I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind? I'm on your magical mystery ride And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me But I'll be alright
My head's under water But I'm breathing fine You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginnin' Even when I lose, I'm winnin'
'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you, oh-oh
How many times do I have to tell you Even when you're crying, you're beautiful too? The world is beating you down I'm around through every mood You're my downfall, you're my muse My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you
My head's under water But I'm breathing fine You're crazy, and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginnin' Even when I lose, I'm winnin'
'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you, oh-oh
Give me all of you Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts Risking it all, though it's hard
'Cause all of me loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginnin' Even when I lose, I'm winnin'
'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you
I give you all of me And you give me all of you, oh-oh
