I spend all of my days

thinking there's gotta be a way

for me to shake your memory from my brain.

You've haunted me for years

causing blood, sweat, and tears,

and at the end, all that I feel is shame.

And what do I have to show?

Where did all that time go?

But what you don't know,

is how much I

just how much I'll miss you, darling.

And before I go,

I'll walk for now

in your shadow.

I've wasted so much soul

letting heartbreak take control

of every single waking thought.

Like an addict on the jones

I could feel it in my bones.

In my own head was the war I fought.

And what do I have to show?

Where did all those years go?

But what you don't know,

is how much I

just how much I'll miss you, darling.

And before I go,

I'll walk for now

in your shadow.

I have found that the process

of discovering who I really am

begins with knowing who I really don't want to be.

But what you don't know,

is how much I

just how much I'll miss you, darling.

And before I go,

I'll walk for now

in your shadow.
