Shade

Years go by when you're counting your tears

Take time and I wonder why

I traded in your love and your presence

For just a little bit of a sweet synthetic feeling

Just some late night stealing

Of broken emotions

Love is an ocean

Found under neon lights in a potion

And now you let me drown

But I still feel you there

You're the broken side of me

As tides turn and bridges burn I'm gonna need something

To help me keep you there

You're the brighter side of me

I can't hold or let you go under the shade you bring

Well say something, move closer

Cause I just cant understand it; the way you let me go

It's alright now

We're older

You can tell me the feelings that you just never show

I'm everything that you asked of me

In the past four years

But you keep your pace

I feel you pushing the distance now

Cause we're not the kids who fell in love that day

And it's been so long

But I still feel you there

You're the broken side of me

As tides turn and bridges burn I'm gonna need something

To help me keep you there

You're the brighter side of me

I can't hold or let you go under the shade you

The shade you bring

It's like you took away the sun from me

I swear I never felt colder

I feel you in the air, it's like you're chained to me

You still walk the halls of the home you kept

But you won't admit that you're in my chest

You're still the shade on the walls I know

You're still the pain that I can't forget
