I've waited here for you
In the darkness of love's shadow
Did you know
Of things real and silicone
Of how I thought
Believed that plastic shone
Did you ever shine?
I'm beginning to believe
It was all in my mind
Hello
I'm not the boy you knew
Out of pictures torn and old
Did you know
I changed my skin and bones
I thought that I could create
The shadow that had shone
You could never shine
I must have known that I was blind
All the glint and all the glow
Fade away in love's shadow
Cold
Hello
I sacrificed for you
My life, my shine, my soul
I want you to know
Of the broken battered clone
Of how I thought
That dead seedlings could grow
If they were planted
In the darkness of my love's shadow
(This love never shone)
You could never shine
I must have known that I was blind
Cause all your spark and all your glow
Fade away in love's shadow
In the darkness of love's shadow
In the coldness of love's shadow
