I didn’t see the darkness as it came Rushing like a wave all over me One second there was sun, the next there was none
I didn’t feel the pressure on my back Like a vampire breathing down my neck Chasing me away from you and everything I ever loved
I never meant to let you down but I’ll never let them take me now The dream is dust The deed is done And I’ve got my hands around the gun
I never meant to play this part And I never meant to break your heart But, here in the shadows we decide Either we’re dead or we survive
I think you’re getting close to seeing now It’s you and me against everybody else And I don’t wanna doubt that you won’t make a sound
And I could pretend I was sorry, yeah And I could pretend that it hurt so bad But, everything I did I’d do it all again (I’d do it all again!)
I never meant to let you down but I’ll never let them take me now The dream is dust The deed is done And I’ve got my hands around the gun
I never meant to play this part And I never meant to break your heart But, here in the shadows we decide Either we’re dead or we survive
I’ve got a darkness deep inside (Hey! Hey! Hey!) But, here in the shadows, I’m alive (Hey! Hey! Hey!) So, if you’re looking for me just look straight down It’s here in the shadows I’ll be found
I never meant to let you down But I’ll never let them take me now Here in the shadows we decide Either were dead or we survive
I never meant to let you down but I’ll never let them take me now The dream is dust The deed is done And I’ve got my hands around the gun
I never meant to play this part And I never meant to break your heart But, here in the shadows we decide Either we’re dead or we survive
