Just A Shadow, by bedazzled Subscribe to rss feed for bedazzled

Waiting in the abyss,
you’re watching me.
Hoping for a replay,
too blind to see.
I can no longer reach you,
you’ve wandered too far.
Unable to stop bleeding,
afraid of the scar.

//Why can’t you get me out of your head?
Why can’t you see that our love is dead?
Step forwards, onto the wall,
Baby it’s time you learnt to free fall.
Why can’t you see in colour again?
Why are holding out for more rain?
Stop now, it’s time to let go,
Baby you know that you’re just a shadow.//

Preoccupied with regret,
it’s all you feel.
Caught in your delusions,
no fake, no real.
I can’t bear your weight,
stop leaning on me.
No one can drain your ocean
of self-pity.

//Why can’t you get me out of your head?
Why can’t you see that our love is dead?
Step forwards, onto the wall,
Baby it’s time you learnt to free fall.
Why can’t you see in colour again?
Why are holding out for more rain?
Stop now, it’s time to let go,
Baby you know that you’re just a shadow.//

_I wish you could realise
that if you opened your eyes
you’d see the world wasn’t black and white,
you’d see that there isn’t eternal night.
_I wish that you could understand
that I’m not here to hold your hand,
that I’m not paying for your leases,
you can just pick up the pieces.

//Stop now, it’s time to let go,
Baby you know that you’re just a shadow.//
