There was a time
When your shadow was great
But it's the end of the line
And we're all tired of waiting, waiting
Staring up at the lights
After a while they're burning
You cannot chain up the night
Can't stop the pages from turning, turning
And if someone's gonna put you down
I'm gonna put you down
I love you
I'm sorry
You came back alive
But your shadow was gone
And now you're only surviving
Your mind away in a long-forgotten place
Limousines and women traded
For blood-thinners and wine
Everything is so complicated
But when it's time it's time, and it's time
And if the fire's faded out of your eyes
And it cannot be revived
I love you
I'm sorry
The razor makes a line
Across your weathered face
Your legacy in ashes
Your pride, your dignity erased
The razor and the damage is done
You lied to everyone
I love you
I'm sorry
