She stands in shadows
Shadows I've walked into
Your skin's like the velvet
Simple reflection of you
And you know it's true
chorus:
Baby you know that I love you too much
You destroyed all the dreams that I wanted to touch
Severed my life like a cut from a knife
I wanted to hold on to you
But I guess I'm just turning
A slow fade to blue without you
What's the good in trying
To make her see
When the only thing I get is hurt
With a broken heart and misery
Hair as black as ravens in the nighttime
Twisted by the singing wind
Eyes that only melt my heart
Tantalize my tears, rip my soul apart
(repeat chorus)
I need you baby, I want you too much
Burned by the flames you created in love
Savior, a satan's got a hold on me
Torments my life and just won't let me be
I see the visions that come from your lies
Reincarnated by the heat from your eyes
Oh, you got to stand before me
Like it's for real
I just want to touch you and your love again
Your love again, to feel
I guess I'm just turning
A slow fade to blue without you
