Shadow On the Wall Lyrics
gone
its hard for me to see when i'm wrong
its hard for me to weep when i'm strong
but i can 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 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 its 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
well i don't wanna be nobody's fool
i 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, and how i long to be a shadow on the wall
i would make no sound at all
at all.
its hard for me to see when i'm wrong
its hard for me to weep when i'm strong
but i can never sleep when you're gone
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 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
hey its 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 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
i would make no sound at all
at all.

They are sick and tired of being seen and so just wants to disappear instead of appearing like a fool again. Beautiful song.
