This song was written for a girl that I loved but she didnt feel the same way so the only thing I could be was a friend(a Shadow Lover). And she hurt me inside very bad at the same time by playing games. anyways...let me know what you think. Thank you.

VI:
I wanted to be your him
My friends said to be alert
I didn't listen to them
I never knew I'd get so hurt
You gave me all of the clues
I guess this means its goodbye
Hand me the box of tissues
I better start drying my eyes

Chorus:
As I watch you walk away
My dreams begin to smother
Play it like friends everyday
I'll be your Shadow Lover
I filled myself with false hope
Trying to keep it inside
My love for you I can't cope
Today inside I have died

VII:
Wishing to be the one
Only brings me down
Away from me you'll run
My love is not renowned
Why can't you feel the same
You don't believe a thing
No matter what you do
My love for you won't change

VIII:
Today's the day you left
A date I won't forget
For everything I've said
I hope you feel regret
In my head I feel disdain
I wish you knew my pain
But baby your so cold
You cant feel anything
