The Shadows

So, someone was sleeping

While she did her leaving

Cowards go in the night

She did her leaving

And how can I blame her?

Who has the nerve to fight?

She knows, of course she knows

Nothing could tear us apart

She lives in the shadows of my heart

I tried to persuade her in vain

Of course later that's something that I'd deny

I knew it was better to say in my letter

That I never even tried

She knows, of course she knows

And one day she'll tear me apart

This shadow that she leaves on my heart

She's leaving

She's leaving

My alter

She's leaving

Where will I go to pray?

I want her

I need her

I long to believe her

Words that she will not say

And I knew, of course I knew

That one day she'd tear me apart

The shadow that she left on my heart

She's leaving

She's leaving

My alter

She's leaving

Where will I go to hide?

She lives on the shadows of my mind
