Lyrics
[Intro] That's the way Shellshock Shellshock Shellshock Shellshock Shellshock Shellshock Shellshock [Chorus] Hold on, it's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating Until your heart [Verse 1] You call me on the phone, you left me all alone All I get from you is shellshock Another day goes by and all I do is cry All I get from you is shellshock I'd tell the world and save my soul But rain falls down and I feel cold A cold that sleeps within my heart It tears the earth and Sun apart [Pre-Chorus] But that's the way (That’s the way) that I can win (On) A victim of (That’s the way) your evil sin (On) You've lost the hold (That’s the way) you've had on me (On) By causing the changes that you never see [Chorus] Hold on, it's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating On, it's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating On Until your heart [Verse 2] When we walk through open doorways Counting time in one or more ways We can't find our peace of mind And life becomes a life of crime [Pre-Chorus] And that's the day (That’s the way) I call your name (On) I came to you, (That’s the way) I called in vain (On) You lost the faith (That’s the way) within your heart (On) The fire in your soul from the end to the start [Chorus] Hold on, it's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating On Until your heart, until your heart [Verse 3] After all the years, now I can't stand the tears Something's gonna happen, shellshock The love that comes with pain destroys the very same Now I can't hear the sound of shellshock [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] I've been good and I've been bad But common sense I've never had No matter how I try and try I hide the truth behind a lie [Pre-Chorus] That's the way (That’s the way) that I can win (On) A victim of (That’s the way) your evil sin (On) You lost the faith (That’s the way) within your heart (On) The fire in your soul from the end to the start [Chorus] Hold on, it's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating On, it's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating Hold on, it's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating On, it's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating On, it's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating On, it's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating On, it's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating [Outro] On, it's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
