Standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartache to come (Can't you see me) Standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartache to come Promise me, I wouldn't cry When the time came girl to say goodbye I always knew that one day we would part I always knew that you'd break my heart But that was a chance I had to take And even though I knew that it would cause me pain Just one look and I lost my way And if you'd ask I'd do the same again [Chorus] Standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartache to come (Can't you see me) Standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartache to come (Can't you see me) Some things in life are too good to resist Opportunities that shouldn't be missed From the first time that I laid my eyes on you I knew right then I couldn't stop even if I wanted to Cause somehow you got under my skin My heart was locked but nothing stopped you breaking in And even now I know that we're through Over and over I just wanna kiss you [Chorus:Repeat x2] I'm just a man with a hole in my life No stars are dancing in my sky tonight Baby I need you to make this thing right I can't be alone no one more lie [Chorus:Repeat x2]
