The Shadow that You Cast

We could have had happiness and compatibility

Casting the sadness of the past into the sea

Love is the only thing in life that’s free

But you wouldn’t let it be, you wouldn’t let it be,

Investing way too many years

Living so close to all your fears

Convicted by a jury of your peers

Enduring all your frowns and your sneers,

Not your blame game just reality

Without your sanctimony or frailty

For one time just a little humility

But you wouldn’t let it be, you wouldn’t let it be,

Trying to pull away from the past

The happy life doesn’t always last

You can fly your flag at half mast

Just look at that shadow that you cast,

Upon the lives of all you’ve touched

Wish I didn’t remember it so much

What a waste of time in as such

Always playing the victim you’re favorite crutch,

Why couldn’t you ever just be free?

No, don’t wave that gun at me

Try a little sympathy and a cup of tea

But you wouldn’t let it be, you wouldn’t let it be,

I will just try and move on

There’ll will always be a new dawn

There are spirits out dancing on my lawn

I’ll succeed despite all the lies you’ve spawned.
