Took a walk and passed your house late last night
All the shades were pulled and drawn way down tight
From within, the dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade
Oh what a lovely couple they made
Put his arms around your waist, held you tight
Kisses I could almost taste in the night
Wondered why I'm not the guy who's silhouette's on the shade
I couldn't hide the tears in my eyes
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
------ lead guitar ------
Lost control and rang your bell, I was sore
Let me in or else I'll beat down your door
When two strangers who have been two silhouettes on the shade
Said to myself "you're on the wrong block"
Rushed out to your house with wings on my feet
Loved you like I'd never loved you my sweet
Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the shade
All of our days, two silhouettes on the shade
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...how come I feel so bad
and still I'm looking for tears?
the sun has been out all week
the weeks they all seem like years
still I would not undo
what I have done, because it's right
I wish I'd never learned
the things that I know today
but I've been touched and I
will never be the same
we're in a lonely spot
because we are saving our souls
and who says this is
who says this is love?
I say this is pain
we don't need to go on
fighting shame with shame
and if you hate me now
you don't know that I'm good
and that I've taken on
a lot more than I need
I did the dirty work
and now I'm using the gun
almighty universe!
I know my will will be done
I'm in a lonely spot
because I am saving my soul
and who says this is
so let there be pain
pumping through me
until I think I need to faint
- until I am someone
and who says this is love?
I say this is greed
you say you're good for me
but you don't know what I need
and if you hate me now
you don't know that I'm good
and that I've taken on
a lot more than I need
who says this is love?
I say this is pain
