Shadow on the Wall Songtext

von Brandi Carlile

Gone, it's hard for me to see when I'm wrong
It's hard for me to weep when I'm strong
But I can never sleep when you're gone
Hope, but still, if you were gonna crucify me
I wouldn't want nobody to see
Cause you could kick me hard when I'm down

Down down down

I don't want to be
Nobody's fool
I played that part so many times before

And how I long to be
A shadow on the wall
I would make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The shadow on the wall
It cannot be seen at all
At all

For real, hey it's not that you would mess with my head
I believe you believe what you said
You think you know me best and you care
But that's not fair
Cause I don't really want to be saved
It must have been the way I was raised
To sleep with one eye open I'd say

Hey hey hey

Well I don't want to be
Nobody's fool
I've played that part so many times before

How I long to be
A shadow on the wall
I would make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down The shadow on the wall It cannot be seen at all / At all

And how I long to be
A shadow on the wall
I would make no sound at all
At all
