Shadows

I thought that I had known a pain

But not like the one you showed me

Not like the one you showed me

I wished that things had stayed the same

But not with the way it’s going

Not with the way it’s going

I’ve played it back a hundred times

I’ve told myself a thousand lies

But still inside it’s you I find

I don’t know how to change it

That memory burned into my head

I prayed for better things instead

I really wish you weren’t dead

but

I’ll just carry on with the show

Don’t you know I’m a falling domino

Breathing in, hope it helps

Even though I know it won’t

And they say these things take time

I don’t hate the storm and the rain

On my face, I don’t wanna fade away

Burn me out, til I’m grey

I’m a product of the pain

And the shadows in my mind

I let myself fall to the floor

More than a couple times now

More than a couple times now

I’ve walked a hundred different lives

I’ve heard a thousand different cries

I’ve tried my best to run and hide

I don’t know how to change it

I’ve talked with god and told him lies

I’ve acted on my foolish pride

I swear I’m living out of spite

I’ll just carry on with the show

Don’t you know I’m a falling domino

Breathing in, hope it helps

Even though I know it won’t

And they say these things take time

I don’t hate the storm and the rain

On my face, I don’t wanna fade away

Burn me out, til I’m grey

I’m a product of the pain

And the shadows in my mind
