Dark Shade Songtext
von Tapestry

I feel condemned, condemned to die lonely
But will that ever change?
I can′t let anyone in anymore
Because my past won't fade

My mind frets unprovoked
Repeating in the rhythm of a clock
So I keep my walls built up
Just to get knocked down again
When I lose, lose my head
′Cause this abandonment is all I've known
I won't try to stop you when you go

I′ve got a burning desire
To be a man that never leaves
To be a little bit kinder
To myself when I′m in need
Never taught, never saw
What love's supposed to be
I′ve got a burning desire, so teach me


Growing up in separation
My colours run straight to grey
The stories I've lived are often painted with a dark shade

′Cause no ever needed me
I've always been disposable
No one ever needed me
I′ve always been left to suffer on my own

I've got a burning desire
To be a man that never leaves
To be a little bit kinder
To myself when I'm in need
Never taught, never saw
What love′s supposed to be
I′ve got a burning desire, so teach me

Teach me how to love
'Cause I have given up
I′ve lived a life left abandoned and misunderstood
Teach me how to love
'Cause I have given up
I′m just trying to be a better man


I've got a burning desire
To be a man that never leaves
To be a little bit kinder
To myself when I′m in need
Never taught, never saw
What love's supposed to be
I've got a burning desire, so teach me
