Brandi Carlile Shadow on the wall (acoustic) Lyrics

Gone, it's hard for me to see when I'm wrong /
It's hard for me to weep when I'm strong /
But I can never sleep when you're gone /
Hope, 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 want to be /
Nobody's fool /
I played that part so many times before

And 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 cannot be seen at all /
At all

For real, hey it's not that you would mess with my head /
I believe you believe what you said /
You think you know me best and you care /
But that's not fair /
Cause I don't really want to be saved /
It must have been the way I was raised /
To sleep with one eye open I'd say
hey hey hey

Well I don't want to be /
Nobody's fool /
I've 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 cannot be seen at all /
At all

And how I long to be /
A shadow on the wall /
I would make no sound at all /
At all
