The shadowside
You say I have
Is making everything
Go bad

You say I don't
Care enough
For all the things that
I have got

But I do
And I will

I don't want to see myself descend
Into the shadowside again
If you ever let me go again,
In the shadowside I'll end

The shadowside
Where I go
I'm never where
I'm needed so

You say I don't
Give enough
That I don't care for
All I've got

But I do
And I will

I don't want to see myself descend
Into the shadowside again
If you're letting go of me again
In the shadowside I'll end
