Shadow on the Wall Songtext
von Brandi Carlile

Gone, it′s hard for me to see when I'm wrong
It′s hard for me to weep when I'm strong
But I could never sleep when you're gone
Oh, but still
If you were 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 wanna be nobody's fool
I′ve played that part so many times before
How I long to be
A shadow on the wall?
I would make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
A shadow on the wall
It cannot be seen at all, at all


Over it
Hey, 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 safe
It must have been the way I was raised
Sleep with one eye open I say
Hey, hey, hey

I don′t wanna be nobody′s fool
I've played that part so many times before
And how I long to be
A shadow on the wall?
I would make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The shadow on the wall
It cannot be seen at all, at all, no

Oh, how I long to be
A shadow on the wall
I would make no sound at all, at all
