Gone, it's hard for me to say when I'm wrong
|
It's hard for me to weep when I'm strong
|
But I can never sleep when you're gone
|
Oh, but still, if you are 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've played that part so many times before
|
How I long to be a shadow on the wall
|
I will make no sound at all
|
And when the sun goes down
|
The shadow on the wall cannot be seen at all
|
At all
|
|
Oh friend, it's not that you would mess with my head
|
I believe that 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've been the way I was raised
|
To sleep with one eye open I'd say
|
Hey, hey, hey
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Oh how I long to be a shadow on the wall
|
I will make no sound at all
|
At all
|
