Shadows of Me - Shelby Lyrics

I am not the way
I am not your savior
I am just the one
The only one you have

And if there was a way
Don't you think we'd have found it days ago?
So we just remain
A sore without a salve

So we count the ways
Or is just the days?
Until we can discern
Between the real and the advertised

So keep that grin right wide
Don't let it touch your eyes
They might not realize
How crazy you've become

If you don't believe
You're wasting precious time
And time's so hard to come by
Oh god, I'm losing you again
So please just hold on tight
And try for the hundredth time
To make the other ninety-nine
More than a futile exercise

I still remember you
Or at least I think I do
But the you that I recall
Would not consort with me at all

It occurs to me
That you are a familiar stranger
A hellish war's survivor
Sutured and insane

If you don't believe
You're wasting precious time
And time's so hard to come by
Oh god, I'm losing you again
So please just hold on tight
And try for the hundredth time
To make the other ninety-nine
More than a futile exercise

I... I... I...

I am not the way
I am not your savior
I am just the one
The only one you have

And if there was a way
Well, don't you think we'd have found it years ago?
So we just remain
A sore without a salve

If you don't believe
You're wasting precious time
And time's so hard to come by
Oh god, I'm losing you again
So please just hold on tight
And try for the hundredth time
To make the other ninety and nine
More than a futile exercise

Oh god, I'm losing you again
So let's try more than a futile exercise

I... I... I...
