Shadow on the wall

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 want 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 will make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The 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
How I long to be
A shadow on the wall
I will make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The shadow on the wall
It cannot be seen at all
At all
Oh
How long to be
A shadow on the wall
I would make no sound at all
At all
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 want 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 will make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The 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
How I long to be
A shadow on the wall
I will make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The shadow on the wall
It cannot be seen at all
At all
Oh
How long to be
A shadow on the wall
I would make no sound at all
At all
