Shadow on my house

I loved the girl but I messed her up.
Now she´s with another so I´ve found.
They say "Better to have loved and lost, than not have loved at all".
But much more than my foolish pride, has took a fall.
They all tell me about, mistakes that I have made.
And I have no doubt, my hand was overplayed.
There´s a shadow on my house, the window´s shed no light.
Since you´ve gone it seems so wrong, I can´t tell day from night.
All too late I have learnt.
Burn the candle at both ends and you´ll get burnt.
How could there be, a fool such as I?
To let you walk away, out of my life.
Sitting here alone all the days seem the same.
I don´t know how much longer I can stand the pain.
There´s a shadow on my house, the window´s shed no light.
Since you´ve gone it seems so wrong, I can´t tell day from night.
