Hold me cause the time is moving fast And I'm missing all the things I left behind me Well I've only tasted bitter sweet after all I've had time to play Haven't found my way Well they once told me it's better suicide Then dying slowly From all that you've let go by Ooh baby Should have done it from my heart Ooh darlin' Should have done it from the start Now I'm living in the shadows It's a lonely place (Living in the shadows of life) Yeah I'm living in the shadows If I could only wake And live that life again Thrown me in a cage that's plagued with war But I only had myself to fight beside me And indeed I've wasted countless hours, reminiscing What I should have dealt with differently and now I see In my head it's going round That I missed the wrong from right And with each song I'm playing I hear the sacrifice And when my heart is beatin' From those emotions freakin' I wasn't born to slave I opt to turn the page Ooh baby Should have done it from my heart (and let the fortune find me) Ooh darlin' Should have done it from the start (and turn it around, around) Now I'm living in the shadows It's a lonely place (Living in the shadows of life) Yeah I'm living in the shadows If I could only wake And live that life again
