You see the shadows in my eyes and want to chase them away <br />You think you can save me and baby, I’m so afraid <br />because I’ve been down this road I know how it goes <br />You’ll give me your everything, but those shadows still show <br /> <br />I don’t want to love you <br />Because I don’t want to break you <br />I don’t want to see you cry <br />Really don’t want to make you <br /> <br />You think I’m sad, I need to be loved – that your love will fix me up inside <br />You think there’s something more; something that the shadows hide <br />Someday you’ll realize there’s nothing more, the shadows are all that is there <br />Your heart will break when you see and your love will fade in thin air <br /> <br />I don’t want to love you <br />Because I don’t want to break you <br />I don’t want to see you cry <br />Really don’t want to make you <br /> <br />I wish there was something more, something beautiful hiding underneath <br />But I know the shadows are in my soul, and when you see that, you’ll leave <br />You believe in the power of love, Your soul shines so bright <br />But my shadows are deep, and won’t be chased away by your light <br /> <br />Why can’t you believe me when I say <br />These shadows will never, ever go away? <br /> <br />No, babe, these shadows in my soul <br />They won’t fade, but they’ll swallow you whole <br /> <br />Run, run away and don’t try to save me; don’t be the hero, please let that be me <br />I’ll give up any love that you feel to know that from my darkness, you’re free <br /> <br />I don’t want to love you <br />Because I don’t want to break you <br />I don’t want to see you cry <br />Really don’t want to make you...<br /><br />Lynda Remus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shadows-19/
