Shadows
I watch the shadows falling on the sheets of this old bed
The shadows that have fallen on my life since you have left
An homage to the life I live since my life has come undone
I sit here drinking coffee with the rising of the sun
Light has become a reminder of a life I'll never have
I've spent so much time wasting time I never should have spent
It's a lesson learning living isn't living without love
and that love is something given when you feel like giving up
And if giving up was living for you then who was I to make you stay
But if time was feeling giving I would just want one more day
Just to take you in my arms and tell you all the things I didn't
Maybe that would've held you back from leaving both our stories unfinished
It's finished now but I don't think that you ever thought of this
The shadows in my world are what you're leaving in your midst
