Lyrics
Shadows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Scold me, that's all you've got to say
Coldly hurt me and turn away
You say: I'm not sorry that
I'm resolved to what is next
I head for the shadows hold me, taking it back in tears
You've told me, slowly confessed your fears
But I've got myself to protect
It's too soon for me to forget
I wait in the shadows in the shadows, where I end up loved
They help me see that I've finally won
We wait in your heart
So until I truly believe
That your words convey what you mean
I wait in the shadows
I wait in the shadows
I don't mind the shadows
