Lyrics

Shadow of a Doubt

Maybe it’s the clothes I wear
Or maybe it’s the way I grow my hair
Maybe it’s the songs I write
I still remember when you used to care
We were young
And there was something in the air

I don’t know what you’ve been told
I don’t even know you anymore
Promises bought and sold
Can’t you hear me knocking on the door
I know this is not the first time
But this will be the last
Living in a shadow of a doubt

All I need you to know before it’s time to go
There are some things
That will never be the same
All I wanted to say
Before I go my way
I know this is not the first time
But this will be the last
Living in a shadow of a doubt

All I wanted to say before I go my way
Somewhere far beyond
A shadow of a doubt

Politics, religion too
All the things that we don’t talk about
Living in a shadow of a doubt

All I need you to know before it’s time to go
Maybe this year will be better than the last
All I wanted to say before i go my way
I know this is not the first time
But this will be the last
Living in a shadow of a doubt
