When Shadows Die

One night you silently came to my room

You didn't realize I was awake

Then you gave me this weird look

That was what convinced me to make this decision

You were not supposed to be in my life

I am walking as a mortal

Angry and sad

Slowly falling apart

I'm just another shadow

A dying shadow on the wall

But I didn't know how to cut you out of my life

There was no love and no trust left

Somehow you still were too important

All the times you let me down or simply stayed away

Could no longer make up for the times you made me laugh

I am walking as a mortal

Angry and sad

Slowly falling apart

I'm just another shadow

A dying shadow on the wall

Why don't you hear my silent scream?

How can you not see the tears?

Am I the only one who can feel the broken heart?

Is it possible to hide so much pain?

Or is there just no one who really cares?

I am walking as a mortal

Angry and sad

Slowly falling apart

I'm just another shadow

A dying shadow on the wall

But shadows tend to die when the sun rises

You do not hurt the people that you love

and that is how I know that you never really loved me at all
