Shadows And City Lights (New Version) Downwards we operate And I go all to pieces For just once you imitate someone who is loving And I am scared of you Always you come around saying that you're sorry Take away this awful sound that I cannot belong to So now I'm through with you And we owe this to ourselves to say what we really mean Honestly , I can't see how this could end happily I can run to no one else And I can't stand the thought of this The ground beneath me is breaking And I'm falling helpless Touching to make it work when we know this is useless We're holding back for fear of hurt We were making no sense Cause I'm no good for you All we need are wounds we can mend For the chance that we can pretend again All you need is to see an end To tell you we can make the world turn again And we owe this to ourselves to say what we really mean Honestly , I can't see how this could end happily I can run to no one else And I can't stand the thought of this The ground beneath me is breaking And I'm falling helpless
