Shadows

A few more breaths that you can't count
At least not on me
If you'd shut your eyes, I'd shut my mouth
'Cause you mean nothing to me

And I would lift you up
So I could let you fall, 'cause I
Was going nowhere from the start
And nowhere's where it ends

And I will leave you in the shadows
Of where I used to be
You won't be afraid

But I was wrong
I live so you wouldn't be alone
But you deserve better than this
Better than this
Don't you know?

A few more lessons you can count
If I said
We were missing all the points
But still had it all

And I would let you know
How the story goes and how
How it stops and where it ends
With everything you said

I will leave you in the shadows
Of where I used to be
You won't be afraid

But I was wrong
I live so you wouldn't be alone
But you deserve better than this
Better than this

And don't you know the hate
That's on my heart is from your hands?
When you let it go
I guess it's all in the way you suffer for my love
You better let it go
Before it gets the best of you

And who wins
When we both lose a lot?
I loved you
At least so I thought

But I was wrong
I live so you wouldn't be alone
But you deserve better than this
Better than this
And I deserve to be alone
To be alone

'Cause you deserve better than this
You deserve better than this
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
