/ /
 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 could never sleep when you're gone
 Oh 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 wanna be
 Nobody's fool
 I've played that part so many times before
 How I long to be
 
 A shadow on the wall
 
 I will make no sound at all
 And when the sun goes  down
 
 The shadow on the wall
 
 It cannot be seen at all
 At all
Over  it
 Hey it's not that you would mess with my head
 
 I believe that 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 safe
  /
 It must have been the way I was raised
  /
 Sleep with one eye open I say
 Hey hey hey
 
 I don't want wanna be
 Nobody's fool
 I've played that part so many times before
 How I long to  be
 
 A shadow on the wall
 
 I will make no sound at all
 And when the sun goes  down
 
 The shadow on the wall
 
 It cannot be seen at all
 At all
 How I long to be
 
 A shadow on the wall
 
 I will make no sound at all
 And when the sun goes down
 
 The shadow on the wall
 
 It cannot be seen at all
 At all
