&quot;Life is but a walking shadow.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ~Shakespeare (Macbeth)


Well I'm not bleeding my heart out
Just for the attention
Because I don't waste my words
I've been taking all your medicine
To dull the pain of your wrongs
It doesn't always work

So save yourself and keep your own heart beating
So still love him as long as you're still breathing
I live to love you more than my own life
But this is something I can no longer hide

Well I'm not screaming out the truth
Just to hear myself
Because I can't stand my own voice
And I'm not hiding everything else
Just to save myself
That part isn't my own choice

So save yourself and keep your own heart beating
So still love him as long as you're still breathing
I live to love you more than my own life
But this is something I can no longer hide

I finally drew the line
And I can feel the divide
Between us and I suddenly wish that I could take back
Everything I said
Because now I'm walking dead
So close to being real as long as you're with me
You've always loved him and I just wasn't good enough
I tried to give you everything and I misplaced my trust

So save yourself and keep your own heart beating
So still love him as long as you're still breathing
I live to love you more than my own life
But this is something I can no longer hide

No more can I take whatever you might throw at me
No more can I fake a smile, I have to make you see...

The title is a quote from the movie "Hugo"... I thought it was deep and it sorta fit the meaning of the song, so I used it ^^
