Shadows playing puppetry
Whole life it was on the wall
Your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love been away too long
Don't wait too long
It's been away too long
Don't wait too long
It's been away too long
Cold sweats in the evening
Bad dreams of you speaking
The harsh truth that I already knew
Now I'm broken in two, just picking up pieces
I can never move on
From all the times that I tried and I wasn't too strong
But I could never do wrong
In your eyes, why you think I'm still singing these songs?
I lost a few friends, now a couple got sons
And it never made sense when a couple got stung
In the same place looking at the same sun
Gave you my trust, never had a trust fund
Now mistakes that I make, yeah, they come in long sums
World for the taking, one day it gon' come
The words that you said, yeah, I never missed one
And I'm here, still here, even when the love's gone
Shadows playing puppetry
Whole life it was on the wall
And your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love been away–
How many times did I lose my shit?
How many times did I bruise my fist?
All the times I felt so dismissed
When you see it clear but it don't exist
How many times did I shoot and miss?
Counting fears while my mind played tricks
Broke promises I tried making stick
Wasting time and that moment slip
Now I'm on the road and I'm three nights in
Just did a show, should have heard 'em sing
I saw your face when the light went dim
You saw my place in a life of sin
Remember the times when my mind would spin
I was terrified when I packed my shit
Left the crib with my choices slim
I couldn't see it then but you always did
Shadows playing puppetry
Whole life it was on the wall
Your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love been away too long
Don't wait too long
It's been away too long
Don't wait too long
It's been away too long
Sitting on the bed, praying now (fire)
Didn't know what we know now (fire)
Looking at the city burn down (fire)
Just you and me on the grey clouds (fire)
Out of bounds, I was OT, yeah (fire)
Long nights, didn't know sleep, yeah, yeah (fire)
When I'm back around, you gon' know me, yeah (fire)
When I'm back around shadow homie, yeah, yeah (fire)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh
A shadow
Shadows playing puppetry
Whole life it was on the wall
And your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love been away too long (don't wait too long)
Shadows playing puppetry
Whole life it was on the wall (don't wait too long)
And your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love, it's been away
