You know my heart

And I ain't got no room for selfish ways

But darling your love

Is something I don't need

I can explain

​

Nights when I couldn't forget you seem so distant now

(Turn around, settle down now)

Know that I don't want to hurt you I just can't go on

​

Something new is taking over

See it in your face, love

Don't you call me sugar

The only thing that seems to linger, oh

Is a shadow (oh)

Is a shadow (oh)

​

Darling please don't

Make this harder than it has to be

It kills me to know

I'm the reason why you're hurting

​

Never seemed right you were a friend at best

But then you're calling me yours

I'm thinking ‘bout the apathy, the lack of feeling

I'm sorry there’s something missing here

Did I think too much

Possibly

But that doesn't change the way I feel

About this whole situation

I'm chasing any chance that may bring some relief, because

​

Something new is taking over

See it in your face, love

Don't you call me sugar

The only thing that seems to linger

Something new is taking over

See it in your face, love

Don't you call me sugar

The only thing that seems to linger

Is a shadow
