Shadows On The Wall

What do you mean by "shadows on the wall"
Do you feel haunted by the weight of it all

Could you just mean that you wanted her to stay
But now you're watching her with your heart walk away

We could all dream of a different life
With different colors and patterns alike

Could it just seem like you wanted her to say
That she loved you just the same
But this is the price you pay

Ah, ooh
Ah, ooh

Vases of roses, cracking at the stem
And they'll just stay there from when you put them in

It was such folly to think he had it all
But we were left in the dark from the shadows on the wall

Could you just mean that you wanted her to stay
But now you're watching her with your heart walk away
Could it just seem that you wanted her to say
That she loved you just the same
But this is the price you pay

Ah, ooh
Ah, ooh
Ah, ooh
Ah, ooh
