The Shadow That Is Me

As I walk along beside myself Looking for the chance To come around, upon the ground I'm just a shadow of this man What once was whole is now not me When I lost you that's when I found The hollow, soulless, darkened being To which this sorrow is now bound I tried to please you, but failed again My hearts all but been torn out I hope your happy, as I grieve For the shadow that is me My sunshine disappeared today There's not a chance I'll be around Left walking is the shallow man My silence is my sound Taking every chance I have So lives the tall dark proof Trailing, leading, by my side Are my reminders of the truth Left beside everyone There for all to see Known to all, who've took the fall Is the shadow that is me What comes first me or you I'll support you when I can When the light of love shines from above It's below you I will stand So look for me when love is near And let go when darkness falls When you grieve that's when you'll see) The shadow that is me

A nice lyric ... 'my silence is my sound' is a significant line ...
