times we spent cheating and lying
wondering when we would be back by your side again
hoping and praying to get through the day
i need your attention to see through the fray
it's night again all the time
shadows are lurking but i can't find mine
people look at me as they flood through the door
i need your attention not theirs anymore

and the light from the candle goes dim
as i slip deeper down from the brim

the people are fading away
as i slip into colours then ten shades of grey
if i don't last this one tell them when i've gone
that playing with you was incredible fun
