In the Shadows

I walk around this town
with my head held high
not thinking of the consequences
that may or may not arise
it's been a long time
since we've been apart
but still i hear the whispers
of how i'm breaking your heart

In the shadows
i have stayed
out of the view of the sun
to keep my own integrity
to stand in where i can run
When will my life start
when will what i say not matter
how much longer
do i have to live in your shadow

days turn into weeks
where i've cried myself to sleep
months has come to a year
when we just don't speak
i hold my tounge so much
but i'm still the bad guy
to think we fought just last month
and you made me cry
I disapear from sight
and people start to worry
that maybe i've moved away
maybe i'm somewhere not living
but even those remarks catch your ear
and sadly enough to your eyes
i'm still here

Youve moved on
found a way
found a girl to take my place
yet, every time something goes wrong
im the one to blame even when i'm not around...


In the shadows
i have stayed
out of the view of the sun
to keep my own integrity
to stand in where i can run
When will my life start
when will what i say not matter
how much longer
do i have to live in your shadow
