Standing in the shadows of love
|
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
|
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love
|
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
|
|
I wanna run but there's no way to go
|
'Cause heartaches will follow me I know
|
Without your love, a love I need
|
It's the beginning of the end for me
|
|
'Cuz you've taken away all of my reasons for living
|
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving
|
Now wait a minute
|
|
Didn't I treat you right, now baby didn't I
|
Didn't I do the best I could, now didn't I, didn't I?
|
|
So don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love
|
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
|
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
|
Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to come
|
|
All alone I'm destined to be
|
With misery my only company
|
It may come today, and it might come tomorrow
|
But it's for sure I've ain't got nothing but sorrow
|
|
Now won't your conscience kinda bother you
|
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
|
Now hold on a minute
|
|
Gave you all the love I had, now didn't I
|
When you needed me I was always there, now wasn't I
|
|
Standing in the shadows of love
|
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
|
I'm trying not to cry out loud
|
You know cryin', it ain't gonna help me none
|
|
What did I do to cause all this grief?
|
Now what did I say to make you wanna leave?
|
Now wait a minute
|
|
I gave my heart and soul to you now didn't I
|
And didn't I always treat you good now didn't I
|
|
I'm standing in the shadows of love
|
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
|
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
|
Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to come
|
|
Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love
|
