Rory D'Lasnow - Shadow Lyrics

I can't listen to love songs
Cause they all remind me of you
My heart will forever remain haunted
You are my one and only truth
I won't ever escape your ghost
And I can't say for sure that I would choose to
Cause baby you can burn me
But I've learned to love the flame
The only time I feel alive is when I can feel the pain

So I threw away the things we made
All the beauty of what we created
And all I'll ever be is a shadow of myself
Fate straight stared into my eyes
But fell right through my hands in time
Was I so blind to think I'd get out alive

Should have known that you never could get enough
Should have known better than to fool with love
I know baby - I know
It's all my fault - it's karma coming back again
Should have known that you never could get enough
Should have been better than the fool I was
I know baby - just go
You call me back to see how far my heart can bend

Skin and bones and nothing more
Still you lead me to the floor
And I will burn long as I'm breathing
So hard to believe it's true
Somehow I'm the same as you
Yet I'd swear that you feed off this bleeding

But somehow it would not be fair
To write you off like I don't care
You know better than to believe I've moved on
But I'm not kneeling down - no I won't cave
Your words will follow me down to my grave
But I can't let it all consume my world
Not this time - not this time

Should have known that you never could get enough
Should have known better than to fool with love
I know baby - I know
It's all my fault - it's karma coming back again
Should have known that you never could get enough
Should have been better than the fool I was
I know baby - just go
You call me back to see how far my heart can bend
You call me back just to see how far my heart can bend

And it's only a matter of time
Til I cease to even cross your mind
Is it only a matter of time
Do I cease to even cross your mind
