Standing in the Shadows of Love

Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love

Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

I wanna run but there's no way to go

'Cause heartaches will follow me I know

Without your love the love I need

It's the beginning of the end to me

Could you take it away

All of my reasons for living

When you pushed aside

All the love I've been giving

Now wait a minute

Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I

Didn't I do the best I could now didn't I

So don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love

Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

All alone I'm destined to be

With misery my only company

It might come today and it might come tomorrow

But it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow

Now don't your conscience kinda bother you

How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you

Now hold on a minute

Gave you all the love I had now didn't I

When you needed me I was always there now wasn't I

Standing in the shadows of love

Getting ready for the heartaches to come

I'm trying not to cry out loud

'Cause I know cryin' it ain't gonna help me now

Now what did I do to cause all this grief

What did I say to make you wanna leave

Now wait a minute

I gave my heart and soul to you now didn't I

And didn't I always treat you good now didn't I

I'm standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love

Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

Oh standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
