Shadow life lyrics - Slash song

A shadow life will only break your heart
It steals the light and tears a soul apart
Like a shadow in the dark

I know you're living in a shadow life
Better watch your step
Should you stumble, you're gonna fall

'Cause daddy's secret are the killing kind
Rope around your neck
It's a wonder you breathe at all

You turn a blind eye and I hold on
You're the fool, will it ever change?
How can't you ever see?

The shadow life will only break your heart
(Like I said before)
It steals the light and tears a soul apart
Like a shadow in the dark

I can feel it when you're under me
There is something else
There is something I can't let go

Never silenced to the misery
Feel it in your sex
Tear it down
Now we're all alone

And still you just deny it all
(But I can't take this anymore)
But I can turn away

The shadow life will only break your heart
(Like I said before)
It steals the light and tears a soul apart
Like a shadow in the dark

It's coming, it's coming
It hurts as it tears us apart
Just like a shadow in the dark

(You're a shadow in the dark)

The shadow life will only break your heart
(Like I said before)
It steals the light and tears a soul apart
Like a shadow in the dark
I feel it when you're under me
There's a dirty secret to this misery, yeah
The shadow life will only break your heart
Like a shadow in the dark
(Like a shadow in the dark)
(You're a shadow in the dark)
