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, the shadow on the wall
It can not be seen at all, at all
Oh, for real, 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 wanna be seen
It must have be the way I was raised
To sleep with one eye open I'd 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 can not be seen at all, at all
Oh, and how I long to be a shadow on the wall
I would make no sound at all, at all
