Shadows

When I'm down and out When I'm on my knees When I've been beaten to the ground Stand over me Watch me bleed Always left untold What lies underneath While your hands so strong, yet cold Held me so tight I could not breathe You're my ray of light darker than the night You're the tears I cry You're the cross and I'm the Christ Like the others I will deny everything Every flaw and every sin How I need you Though I always knew That the dream will would never last I can not change the past In my nightmares I'm with you There is no applause While this curtain falls We're hand in hand, we're side by side I am your groom and you're my bride From your cold red lips I will drink the wine Just to feel alive I must learn to say goodbye
